Professional career

On November 23, 2009, García-López achieved his career-high singles ranking of world no. 41 after winning the Austrian Open. During the 2009 year, he beat #11 seed countryman Fernando Verdasco 7–6, 7–6 in the first round of the 2009 Western & Southern Financial Group Masters and Women's Open, also beating Mikhail Youzhny 7–5, 6–3 in the second round. He fell to Julien Benneteau 6–4, 4–6, 6–7 in the third round.

On March 14, 2010 at the 2010 BNP Paribas Open, he upset world no.9 Croat Marin Čilić 7–6, 6–0 in the 2nd round. García-López continued his good form into the next round by defeating the 26th seed Thomaz Bellucci after losing the first set. However he lost out to Juan Mónaco in the 4th round.

On June 19, 2010 at the 2010 AEGON International in Eastbourne, he made the final but lost there to Michaël Llodra 5–7, 2–6.

In the semi-finals of the 2010 PTT Thailand Open he recorded arguably the biggest win of his career, defeating World No.1 Rafael Nadal 2–6, 7–6, 6–3, saving 24 out of 26 break points while converting his only opportunity to break Nadal, then went on to take his second title (his first on hardcourt) with a victory over Jarkko Nieminen 6–4, 3–6, 6–4.

He continued his form towards the 2010 Rakuten Japan Open Tennis Championships in Tokyo. He stretched his winning streak up to 7, by beating Rajeev Ram, Feliciano López, before falling to Viktor Troicki 2–6, 6–3, 4–6 in the quarterfinals. Going into the 2010 Shanghai Rolex Masters 1000, he mustered the fatigue with confidence and luck – beating Eduardo Schwank, #10 seed Andy Roddick (who retired due to injury in the 2nd set), and stunning #7 seed (and World No.7) Tomáš Berdych 7–6, 6–3 to reach the quarterfinals. There, he went down against #2 seed and World No.2 Novak Djokovic 2–6, 3–6.
