One of the most famous female tennis athletes from Spain, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario was a complete tennis player - winning titles across all three categories of the sport. In her 17-year trophy laden career, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario won 4 Grand Slam Singles titles, 6 Doubles titles and 4 Mixed Doubles titles.

Nicknamed "The Barcelona bumblebee", Sanchez Vicario was known for her remarkable ability to put the ball across the net and force opponents to always come up with that extra shot or two.

She holds the record for most wins at the Fed Cup with 72, and is Spain's all-time greatest medal winner at the Olympic Games with four medals - two silver and two bronze.

Sanchez Vicario came agonizingly close to winning Wimbledon and the Australian Open, finishing as runner-up twice at both these events. In Melbourne, after remarkable runs to the final in 1994 and 1995, she was undone by Steffi Graf and Mary Pierce respectively at the ultimate hurdle.

Sanchez Vicario, however, won the Australian Open Doubles title thrice and the Mixed Doubles tittle once.
