Tommy Robredo Garcés (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtomi roˈβɾeðo ɣarˈθes], Catalan: [ɣərˈses]; born 1 May 1982) is a Spanish professional tennis player. His career-high singles ranking is world No. 5, which he reached in August 2006 as a result of winning the Hamburg Masters earlier in the year.
Robredo reached quarterfinals in seven Grand Slam singles tournaments, and was semifinalist at three editions of the US Open doubles (tennis). In ATP Masters he reached semifinals at the 2004 and 2006 Cincinnati Masters.
He turned professional in 1998 and was coached by José Manuel "Pepo" Clavet and is now coached by Karim Perona. Robredo considers his forehand to be his best shot, and red clay is his favorite surface.
Robredo began playing tennis regularly when he was five and his family moved to Olot, where his father Ángel became the director of the local tennis club, Club Natació Olot. (Robredo's mother Dolores is herself a former assistant coach.) He was coached by his father until 1996 when he joined the Spanish Tennis Federation at the Centre d'Alt Rendiment ("High Performance Center"), a famous center for professional sports training in Sant Cugat del Vallès. He turned professional in 1998.
As a junior player, Robredo won the Junior Orange Bowl 16–Under in both singles and doubles (with Marc López) in 1998. As a professional he made the singles and doubles finals of a Futures-level event, winning the doubles title with Pedro Cánovas. In 1999 he made the semifinals of the boys' event at the French Open and won a Futures tournament in singles as well as another in doubles. Earlier that year in Robredo's hometown tournament of Barcelona – his first event at the ATP Tour level – he recorded a win over Marat Safin, who was then ranked in the world's top thirty, before going on to lose to top ten player Todd Martin.
