Career


Fernandez had a good year on the juniors circuit in 1990, finishing the season as the number three junior in the world. He was runner-up to Andrei Medvedev in the Orange Bowl and made the semi-finals of the boys' singles event at the 1990 Australian Open. The man who beat him in the semi-final, Dirk Dier, had been his doubles partner when he made the 1989 US Open boys' doubles quarter-finals.[5]

Also in 1990, Fernandez represented the Mexico Davis Cup team for the first time. He managed to defeat Marcelo Filippini of Uruguay in Mexico's World Group player-off win and appeared in three further ties during his career, from which he had two wins, over Diego Pérez and then Jaime Yzaga.[6]

The Orizaba born player was a semi-finalist at his home event, the Mexican Open, in 1993.[7] Fernandez defeated Franco Davín, Agustín Moreno and Alberto Berasategui, before falling to Thomas Muster.[7] He was also a doubles semi-finalist at the 1993 International Tennis Championships in Florida, with Juan Garat as his partner.[7]
