Eduardo Gorostiaga Alcoreza[a] (born 22 May 1945) is a Bolivian former professional tennis player.
Born in La Paz, Gorostiaga goes by his nickname "Pacho" and is the son of national champion Issac, who was later an influential tennis administrator.[1]
Gorostiaga, who competed on the international tour in the 1960s and 1970s, was along with his sometimes doubles teammate Ramiro Benavides one of the two pre-eminent Bolivian players of this era.[1] Despite this he only appeared in one Davis Cup tie for Bolivia, against Brazil in São Paulo in the 1975 tournament.[2]
During his career he featured in the main draws of the French Open and Wimbledon. He won the South of France Championships in 1969.[1]
