Template:Spanish name 2 Iván Navarro Pastor (Spanish pronunciation: [iˈβan naˈβaro pasˈtoɾ]; born 19 October 1981) is a retired professional tennis player from Spain. He was sponsored by Head and Li-Ning for his racquets and attire. He employed the serve-and-volley strategy, very much like his compatriot Feliciano López. During his playing career, he had a unique habit of changing racquets each game, using one racquet for serving and another for returning. He reached a career high singles ranking of 67 in March 2009.[1]
He defeated Ivo Karlović in the first round of the 2009 US Open before falling to former World No. 21 Taylor Dent in a five-set match in the second round. Navarro saved three match points in the decisive fifth-set tiebreak against Dent before the American hit a return winner to close out the match, 6-4, 5-7, 6-7 (1), 7-5, 7-6 (9).[2] Navarro announced his retirement in April 2013.[3]
