Biography
Ganzábal first played Davis Cup tennis for Argentina in 1967.
He defeated two-time Grand Slam winner Fred Stolle at Gstaad in 1969, but didn't go deep into a Grand Prix tournament until 1972 when he reached the semifinals at home in Buenos Aires. Further semifinals came at Florence in 1974 and Berlin in 1976.[1][2] As a doubles player he partnered with Davis Cup teammate Lito Álvarez to finish runner-up at Hilversum in 1974. They were beaten in the final by the Argentine pair of Tito Vázquez and Guillermo Vilas.[3]
At his best on clay, Ganzábal reached the third round of the 1976 French Open,[4] his best performance in a Grand Slam tournament. Soon after the French Open, he reached his highest career ranking of 68 in the world.[5]
Ganzábal ended his Davis Cup career in 1975 after 13 ties for his country. He finished with a 16-9 record overall, which included 14 singles wins.
Following retirement, he trained his younger brother Alejandro Ganzábal, who was also a professional tennis player. The brothers became major investors in Argentina's real estate industry.[6]
