Aránzazu Isabel María "Arantxa" Sánchez Vicario ({{IPA|es|aˈɾanθaθw isaˈβel maˈɾi.a aˈɾantʃa ˈsantʃeθ βiˈkaɾjo}};{{efn|In isolation, Vicario is pronounced {{IPA|es|biˈkaɾjo|}}.}} born 18 December 1971) is a Spanish former professional tennis player. She was ranked as the world No. 1 in women's singles by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) for 12 weeks, as well as the world No. 1 in women's doubles for 111 weeks. A defensive baseliner, Sánchez Vicario won 29 WTA Tour-level singles titles and 69 doubles titles, including 14 major titles: four in singles, six in women's doubles, and four in mixed doubles. She also won four Olympic medals and five Fed Cup titles representing Spain. In 1994, Sánchez Vicario was crowned the ITF World Champion of the year.
Career
Arantxa Sánchez Vicario started playing tennis at the age of four, when she followed her older brothers Emilio Sánchez and Javier Sánchez (both of whom became professional players) to the court and hit balls against the wall with her first racquet. As a 17-year-old, she became the youngest winner of the women's singles title at the 1989 French Open, defeating World No. 1 Steffi Graf in the final. (Monica Seles broke the record the following year when she won the title at age 16.)
Sánchez Vicario quickly developed a reputation on the tour for her tenacity and refusal to concede a point. Commentator Bud Collins described her as "unceasing in determined pursuit of tennis balls, none seeming too distant to be retrieved in some manner and returned again and again to demoralize opponents" and nicknamed her the "Barcelona Bumblebee".{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/budcollinstennis0000unse/page/434 |title=Bud Collins' Tennis Encyclopedia |publisher=Visible Ink Press |year=1996 |isbn=1-57859-000-0 |editor-last=Collins |editor-first=Bud |editor-link=Bud Collins |pages=[https://archive.org/details/budcollinstennis0000unse/page/434 434] |editor-last2=Hollander |editor-first2=Zander}}
She won six women's doubles Grand Slam titles, including the US Open in 1993 (with Helena Suková) and Wimbledon in 1995 (with Jana Novotná). She also won four Grand Slam mixed doubles titles. In 1991, she helped Spain win its first-ever Fed Cup title, and helped Spain win the Fed Cup in 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1998. Sánchez Vicario holds the records for the most matches won by a player in Fed Cup competition (72) and for most ties played (58). She was ITF world champion in 1994 in singles.{{Cite web |url=http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/2/players/playerprofiles/PlayerBio2.asp?PlayerID=190008 |title=Aranxta Sanchez Vicario WTA Bio Page |access-date=17 March 2009 |archive-date=16 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080416112729/http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/2/players/playerprofiles/PlayerBio2.asp?PlayerID=190008 |url-status=dead }} She was also a member of the Spanish teams that won the Hopman Cup in 1990 and 2002.
Over the course of her career, she won 29 singles titles and 69 doubles titles before retiring in November 2002.{{cite news |date=13 November 2002 |title=PLUS: TENNIS; Sánchez-Vicario Ends Her Career |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/13/sports/plus-tennis-sanchez-vicario-ends-her-career.html |access-date=12 May 2009}} She came out of retirement in 2004 to play doubles in a few select tournaments as well as the 2004 Summer Olympics, where she became the only tennis player to play in five Olympics in the Games' history.{{cite news|title=Notebook: Rower makes history|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2004-07-01-notebook-rowing_x.htm|access-date=12 May 2009 |date=1 July 2004 |work=USA Today}} Sánchez Vicario was the most decorated Olympian in Spanish history with four medals—two silver and two bronze.{{cite web|title=Arantxa sanchez Vicario |url=http://www.tennisfame.com/famer.aspx?pgID=867&hof_id=244 |access-date=12 May 2009 |publisher=International Tennis Hall of Fame |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927183742/http://www.tennisfame.com/famer.aspx?pgID=867&hof_id=244 |archive-date=27 September 2007 }} Her medal count has since been surpassed by David Cal and Saúl Craviotto with five medals each.{{cite web|title=Saul Craviotto makes history|work=The News 24 |date=7 August 2021|url=https://then24.com/2021/08/07/craviotto-makes-history-at-the-olympic-games-he-achieves-his-fifth-medal-for-spain-and-equals-david-cal/}}
In 2005, TENNIS magazine ranked her in 27th place in its list of 40 Greatest Players of the TENNIS era and in 2007, she was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. She was only the third Spanish player (and the first Spanish woman) to be inducted.
In 2009, Sánchez Vicario was present at the opening ceremony of Madrid's Caja Mágica, the new venue for the Madrid Masters. The second show court is named Court Arantxa Sánchez Vicario in her honour.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/09/sports/tennis/09tennis.html|title=Tennis Stadium Opens (and Closes) in Madrid | work=The New York Times | first=Christopher | last=Clarey | date=9 May 2009 | access-date=25 April 2010}}
Personal life
She has been married twice: her first marriage to the sports writer Juan Vehils in July 2000 ended in 2001. She then married businessman Josep Santacana in September 2008, with whom she has a daughter (born 2009) and son (born 2011).[http://www.tennis.com/backcourt/general/backcourt.aspx?id=146044 Wedding Bells: Sanchez-Vicario Gets Married!] Tennis.com, 21 September 2008[http://www.zimbio.com/Arantxa+Sanchez-vicario/articles/5/Arantxa+Sanchez+Vicario+gave+birth+baby+girl Arantxa Sanchez Vicario gave birth to a baby girl] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090927152346/http://www.zimbio.com/Arantxa+Sanchez-vicario/articles/5/Arantxa+Sanchez+Vicario+gave+birth+baby+girl |date=27 September 2009 }} Zimbio.com, 3 March 2009{{cite news |date=3 November 2011 |title=Arantxa Sánchez Vicario alumbra a su segundo hijo |language=es |work=El Periódico de Catalunya |url=https://www.elperiodico.com/es/gente/20111101/arantxa-sanchez-vicario-alumbra-a-su-segundo-hijo-1203900 |access-date=26 December 2023}} In 2019, Sánchez Vicario and Santacana divorced.{{cite news | last=Guerra |first=Andres | title=Arantxa Sánchez Vicario ya está divorciada | url=https://www.lavanguardia.com/gente/20190321/461155672423/arantxa-sanchez-vicario-josep-santacana-divorcio-sentencia.html |access-date=18 July 2020 | work=La Vanguardia | date=21 March 2019}}
In 2012, Sánchez Vicario published an autobiography in which she claimed that, despite having earned $60 million over the course of her career, her parents had exerted almost total control over her finances and lost all of her money.{{cite web |date=8 February 2012 |title=Sanchez Vicario says $60M in career earnings gone |url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/tennis/story/2012-02-08/arantxa-sanchez-vicario-blames-parents-for-lost-money/53007004/1 |access-date=3 July 2015 |work=USA Today}} The same year, Sánchez Vicario sued her father and older brother Javier for the alleged mishandling of her career earnings. The court case continued over three years and in 2015 concluded in a private settlement.{{cite news | last=Lynch |first=Donal | title=Game, set and... cash troubles: how Wimbledon stars like Becker, Borg and Sanchez courted controversies | url=https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/weekend/game-set-and-cash-troubles-how-wimbledon-stars-like-becker-borg-and-sanchez-courted-controversies-37055915.html |access-date=18 July 2020 | work=Belfast Telegraph| date=30 June 2018}}
She has faced multiple court proceedings relating to charges of tax evasion and fraud. Between 1989 and 1993, she had falsely claimed to be resident of Andorra for tax purposes but was actually residing in Barcelona, Spain. As a result, she was ordered to pay back taxes and penalties.{{Cite web |date=2014-12-05 |title='Hacerse un Arantxa', fijar falsamente la residencia en Andorra para eludir impuestos |url=https://www.lasexta.com/programas/sexta-columna/hacerse-arantxa-fijar-falsamente-residencia-andorra-eludir-impuestos_20141205572595f36584a81fd883959c.html |access-date=2025-02-02 |website=LaSexta |language=es}} In 2009, Sánchez Vicario was found guilty of tax evasion and ordered to repay €3.5 million.{{cite news | last=Galaz |first=Mabel | title=Naming and shaming the celebrity tax dodgers | url=https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2014/05/06/inenglish/1399378385_063821.html | access-date=18 July 2020 | work=La Vanguardia | date=6 May 2014}} In 2015, Banque de Luxembourg successfully filed complaint against her for credit and property fraud amounting to $5.2 million; however, they were unable to recoup it. In 2018, Sánchez Vicario was once again charged with fraud, for deliberately misleading the courts on her financial set-up during the previous case.{{cite news | last=Adicott |first=Adam | title=Former No.1 Arantxa Sanchez Vicario Facing Financial And Personal Upheaval | url=https://www.ubitennis.net/2018/02/former-no-1-arantxa-sanchez-vicario-facing-financial-personal-upheaval/ |access-date=18 July 2020 | work=La Vanguardia | date=25 February 2002}} As of 2021, Barcelona prosecutors are seeking a four-year jail term for Sánchez Vicario, due to further allegations of fraud relating to the transfer of assets to avoid paying her debts from a previous lawsuit.{{Cite web |last=Syed |first=Yasmin |date=22 December 2021 |title=Former world No 1 Arantxa Sanchez Vicario facing four-year jail term for fraud |url=https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/1539824/Arantxa-Sanchez-Vicario-jail-fraud-Josep-Santacana-tennis-news |access-date=26 December 2023 |website=express.co.uk}} In 2024, she received a suspended sentence.{{cite web |url=https://www.reuters.com/sports/tennis/former-tennis-star-arantxa-sanchez-vicario-given-suspended-jail-term-2024-01-17/ |title=Former tennis star Arantxa Sanchez Vicario given suspended jail term |date=2024-01-17 |first1=Inti |last1=Landauro |website=reuters.com}}
