Félix Mantilla (tennis)
Félix Mantilla Botella (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfeliɣs manˈtiʎa βoˈteʎa]; Catalan: Fèlix Mantilla Botella, pronounced [ˈfɛliɡz mənˈtiʎə βuˈteʎə]; born 23 September 1974) is a Spanish former professional tennis player and coach. In common with many of his fellow countrymen, Mantilla's best surface is clay. While not as successful away from the clay, Mantilla also produced good hardcourt results. Mantilla's best stroke was his single-handed backhand and he was known for his baseline consistency from both sides and high endurance levels. He reached the semi-finals of the 1998 French Open, won the 2003 Rome Masters, and achieved a career-high singles ranking of World No. 10.
