This name uses Spanish naming customs; the first or paternal family name is Alonso and the second or maternal family name is Pintor.
Julián Alonso Pintor (born 2 August 1977 in Canet de Mar) is a retired tennis player from Catalonia, Spain, who turned professional in 1996 and retired in 2001.
Tennis career
Alonso was awarded the ATP Newcomer of the Year prize after winning his first ATP title in Santiago and finishing in the Top 40 in 1997. In the final of the tournament, he defeated Marcelo Ríos, who went on to reach the World No. 1 ranking less than four months later.
After this very promising start, however, his career is considered underwhelming; he only won one more title (Bologna, 1998) and retired in 2001 after one and a half years playing only Challengers. He reached his career-high ATP singles ranking of World No. 30 in June 1998 (after winning his second and final title).
