Fernando González

Fernando Francisco González Ciuffardi is a Chilean former professional tennis player, born on 29 July 1980 and raised in La Reina, Santiago, with four years of his youth spent training in Miami. He reached at least the quarterfinals of all four major tournaments and contested his only major final at the 2007 Australian Open, where he lost to top-seeded Roger Federer. He is the fourth man in history to win an Olympic tennis medal in every color: gold in doubles and bronze in singles at Athens 2004, and silver in singles at Beijing 2008. The 2004 doubles gold, won with Nicolás Massú, was Chile's first Olympic gold medal. He qualified twice for the year-end Masters Cup, was runner-up at two Masters Series tournaments, and as a junior won the 1998 French Open singles. He was known for one of the strongest forehands on tour and nicknamed El Bombardero de La Reina.
