Albert Costa's career is defined by his 2002 French Open victory, a moment that made him a national hero in Spain. That win came against Juan Carlos Ferrero in an all-Spanish final, and it ended Spain's long wait for a male champion at Roland Garros. Beyond that, his 12 ATP singles titles and his career-high ranking of No. 6 showcase his consistency and skill on clay. While he may not have the multiple Grand Slams of some peers, his single major title is a testament to his grit and determination.

First Spanish man to win the French Open in the Open Era?

Historic First·2002

Costa's 2002 French Open victory ended Spain's long wait for a male champion at Roland Garros, though Sergi Bruguera had won in 1993 and 1994. Actually, Bruguera preceded him, so this is not a first. Correcting: Costa is one of several Spanish champions.
