David Marrero Santana (Spanish pronunciation: [daˈβið maˈreɾo sanˈtana] ; born 8 April 1980) is a Spanish professional tennis player. Marrero won 14 doubles titles and reached a career-high doubles ranking of world No. 5 in November 2013.
Professional career
2000–2007
Marrero earned his first world ranking late in 2000 as a 20-year-old, but he spent only a few weeks inside the top-500 until early 2005. By late 2005, he had made it into the top-300, but faded over the next year to close out 2006 outside the top-400. In the middle of 2007, he again inched into the top-300, but faded again to close out 2007 at No. 362.
2008
As a qualifier, Marrero reached the final of a Challenger in Chile in January, losing to No. 132 Rubén Ramírez Hidalgo after upsetting No. 272 Sebastián Decoud , No. 187 Adrián García and No. 111 Nicolás Lapentti . This result brought him back into the top 300 at World No. 289. The very next week he gained revenge over Ramirez-Hidalgo to qualify into an ATP stop in Chile, where he again beat García before losing to No. 104 Fabio Fognini in the 2nd round. In February, Marrero scored another upset, defeating World No. 114 Máximo González .
2009–2013: ATP tour finals and World No. 5 in doubles
Marrero reached his career-high singles ranking of World No. 143 on 8 February 2010 and career-high ranking of World No. 5 in doubles on 11 November 2013 after winning the ATP World Tour Finals with Fernando Verdasco defeating the Bryan brothers .
2016: Match fixing controversy
In January 2016, Marrero was featured in a New York Times article about his suspected match-fixing at the Australian Open.[ 1]
2022: Retirement announcement
He announced his retirement at the 2022 Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell ,[ 2] but continued to play on the ITF and Challenger circuits.
