Y ese nombre no es otro que el de Marcelo Ríos. Desde sus primeros pasos en el profesionalismo, la figura del zurdo de Vitacura se ha convertido en uno de los ejes fundamentales de la prensa deportiva nacional, reactivando un segmento deportivo que estaba sumido en una de las crisis más grandes de los últimos años. Marcelo Ríos se ha transformado en una de las figuras noticiosas más importantes de nuestro país. Portada de diarios y revistas, ya sea deportivos o no; figura recurrente en los estelares de televisión; foco noticioso recurrente de noticieros; personaje de interés por su juego y personalidad ha contribuido enormemente a la difusión del deporte blanco en nuestro país que, por fin, cuenta con un ídolo que le permita recuperar el rumbo perdido.

En esta lista, son todos los que están, pero, seguramente y por eso pedimos disculpas de antemano, no están todos los que son. El criterio que hemos seguido para confeccionarla es el mismo que en anteriores ocasiones: nos hemos fijado especialmente en aquellos profesionales que, sin ser jugadores del segmento que podemos llamar de élite, llevan a cabo una labor con rasgos distintivos y positivos dentro del tejido que conforma el tenis español. Todos los protagonistas citados son igual de relevantes para la buena salud del tenis español, por ello, para su aparición a lo largo del texto, se ha seguido simplemente un orden estrictamente alfabético. 2019 ha sido un año especial para el tenis en España Muchos de los protagonistas de este ¿Quién es Quién? del tenis en España forman parte de ese amplio segmento de la base de la pirámide. Trabajan en clubes, en la dirección de los mismos, como promotores, entrenadores; desarrollan su labor en marcas o empresas relacionadas con el mundo del tenis, amén de en federaciones nacionales o territoriales. 2019 ha sido un gran año para el tenis en España.
