Angélica Gavaldón

Angélica Gavaldón Loaiza (born 3 October 1973) is a Mexican retired tennis player.

Gavaldón has dual nationality, was born in the United States and comes from a Mexican family, and turned pro in 1990.

[1][2] That same year, she qualified for the quarterfinals in the 1990 Australian Open, from which she was eliminated in a match against Claudia Porwik.

Her greatest career achievement is widely considered to be the 1995 Australian Open, when she again came through the qualifying tournament to reach the quarter-finals; this helped raise her year-end ranking for 1995 to 36th in the world and marked the peak of her Grand Slam.

Since retiring in 2000, Gavaldon has become a coach to other tennis players, and she released her own clothing label Angalo Activewear in 2007.
