Juan-Martín Aranguren (born October 7, 1983 ) is a retired Argentine tennis player .

Career

At the beginning of his career, Aranguren only played tournaments of the third-class ITF Future Tour . There he celebrated his first two doubles titles in 2004. In November he was in the main field of the higher endowed ATP Challenger Tour for the first time , but lost his opening game in both singles and doubles. He finished the year in singles in the top 550, in doubles he was about to jump into the top 300 in the world rankings .

In the following years he played more Challenger tournaments without first getting beyond the semi-finals in doubles. On the Future Tour he won his first individual title in 2005, while on the Challenger Tour he only reached his first quarter-finals in 2006. In Bucharest he made his debut on the ATP World Tour that same year . After surviving qualification, he met second seed Florent Serra in the first round , against whom he was eliminated with only one game win. In doubles he also lost his opening game on the side of Gustavo Marcaccio .

In 2008 Aranguren took part in the qualification of the Australian Open , but failed as in his other attempts at Grand Slam tournaments in the first round. In June he reached his first Challenger final in Sassuolo , which he won alongside Stefano Galvani . They prevailed against the Spanish pairing Rubén Ramírez Hidalgo and José Antonio Sánchez de Luna in three sets. After a final defeat in Milan , he was able to win his second title in Aracaju with Franco Ferreiro . Thanks to these successes, he made it into the top 200 in doubles at the end of the year. A year later he was able to build on his good performances. In the first half of the year he won another futures title in singles and three in doubles. In August he prevailed with Diego Álvarez at the Challenger in Geneva . In Como he was in his only individual final, which he lost to Oleksandr Dolhopolow . In September of that year he reached his career highs in singles with the 184th Rand and in doubles with 160th rank. He won his last title in Lima . With his partner Martín Alund he defeated the Chilean pairing Guillermo Rivera Aránguiz and Cristóbal Saavedra Corvalán in the final in two sets.

In 2010 in Santiago de Chile he again qualified for a World Tour tournament. As with his other appearances, he lost his first game and was eliminated. In the period that followed, he rarely made it into a semi-finals on the Challenger Tour, so that he kept slipping in the world rankings. On the Challenger Tour he had to qualify more and more often, which is why he was more active on the Future Tour again. There he won two single and one double titles in 2011 and 2012, in total he collected eleven futures titles each time. After a quarter-final defeat at a futures tournament in Italy, he ended his active professional career in May 2013.
