Albert Portas Soy (, ; born 15 November 1973) is a Spanish former professional tennis player. He reached his career-high singles ranking of World No. 19 in October 2001.
Career
Portas turned professional in 1994.
His first and only top-level singles title came at the 2001 Hamburg Masters tournament, where as a qualifier (and ranked No. 42 in the world) he defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero in the final. His mastery of the drop shot (key to his victory in the final) earned him the nickname "Drop Shot Dragon". According to the BBC, Lleyton Hewitt said of Portas that "He sure hits a lot of drop shots, but he hits them so well, as well as anyone I have faced." His final at Barcelona Open in 1997 was also very remarkable. En route to the final he defeated Gustavo Kuerten (eventual champion this same year of French Open), Marcelo Ríos, and Carlos Moyá, but lost in the final to Albert Costa. In 1999, Portas lost the final of San Marino defeated by his countryman Galo Blanco.
Immediately after his retirement from playing tennis in September 2007, Portas started coaching WTA player Daniela Hantuchová, whom he coached from 2007 to 2012.
