A very sad day for Spanish tennis, one of our own has passed away. Juan Aguilera (Barcelona, 1962) has died this Tuesday in the Ciudad Condal at the age of 63 after battling a long illness. Forever remembered for being the first Spaniard to win a Masters 1000, at a time when this tournament category didn't even bear that name. He achieved this feat in Hamburg in 1990, with Boris Becker in the final. I still thank him from here for the interview he granted me thirty years later as a tribute. He was an endearing, familial, cheerful person with exceptional qualities, both on and off the court. Rest in peace, Joan.
