Early Career and Junior Success
Martin Landaluce burst onto the scene by winning the US Open boys' singles title in 2022, establishing himself as a top junior talent. He reached No. 1 in the ITF junior combined rankings in February 2023, showcasing his dominance at the youth level.
Turning professional in 2023, he steadily climbed from outside the top 1000 to No. 518 by November that year. His aggressive baseline game and powerful serve, suited to his towering frame, drew comparisons to Spain's elite players.
Training at the Rafa Nadal Academy honed his skills, preparing him for the pro circuit's demands.
Professional Breakthroughs in 2024-2025
In 2024, Landaluce claimed his first ITF title in Vila Real de Santo Antonio and his maiden Challenger title in Olbia at age 18, becoming the youngest Spanish Challenger champion since Carlos Alcaraz. These wins rocketed his ranking from 464 in February to 162 by November.
2025 marked further progress with his Grand Slam debut at the Australian Open, though he lost in the first round. He secured his second Challenger 125 title in Orleans in September, defeating Raphaël Collignon in a thrilling final: 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-3.
By October 2025, he hit a career-high No. 110, earning $346,779 in prize money that year alone, bringing his career total to over $600,000.
Current Standing and Future Outlook
As of December 19, 2025, Landaluce ranks No. 133, down slightly from No. 130 in November but up significantly from earlier in the year. His career win-loss stands at 111-80 in singles, with consistent points gains throughout 2025.
Positioned fifth in the Next Gen race to Jeddah, he remains a strong contender for the ATP Next Gen Finals. Recent rankings history shows resilience, with upward movements in August and February.
At 19, Landaluce's trajectory suggests major ATP breakthroughs ahead, especially with his physical attributes and coaching from Oscar Burrieza, Esteban Carril, and Tomeu Salva.
