Diego Junqueira attended the tennis school of Guillermo Pérez Roldán's father Raul in Tandil at an early age , which also enjoys a very good international reputation. With Juan Mónaco , Máximo González , Mariano Zabaleta and Juan Martín del Potro , four Argentine top players come from this medium-sized town.
