Four Grand Slam victories in the individual category, six in doubles, four in mixed doubles, four Olympic medals, five Federation Cup titles with the Spanish team and a long list of trophies can be attributed to which was number one in the Women’s Tennis Association in 1995.

Arantxa Sánchez Vicario will go down in the annals of history as one of the best athletes who raised the Spain brand to the top, but her memory will inevitably be clouded by the latest controversies in which she has been involved, controversies that even could cost her a prison sentence.

Sorry the extenista assumes her guilt and offers as a guarantee of goodwill the payment of 1.8 million, but, taking into account the defense strategy of his ex-partner, it will not be easy for him to be victorious, since Santacana maintains that if he ever intervened in the decapitalization process that has taken them to court, it was always by request of the athlete.

The two throw the balls out, and it is that Arantxa Sánchez Vicario also maintains that Santacana was the leader of this decapitalization process, a process of which, according to the athlete, she was not aware.

Guilt and forgiveness abound these days in the heart of Arantxa Sánchez Vicario. After making peace with her family, she has also apologized to Buenaventura Castellanos, who was her lawyer, whom she sued blaming him for her hypothetical financial ruin, supposedly encouraged by her still husband Santacana, who would have isolated her from her loved ones and those closest to her.

Away from her ex-partner and surrounded, now, by her family, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario faces the half a century of life in the middle of a highly complicated situation, trying to mend the mistakes of a past that hurts to remember.
