Martín Landaluce continues to grow rapidly on the professional circuit. The 19-year-old, currently ranked 134th in the world, will compete this season in the Next Gen ATP Finals 2025, a reward for a season full of evolution in his tennis and mentality.

Although pressure and expectations may have worked against the young Spanish player at certain points in his career, especially in that transition from juniors to professional, Landaluce shows that he is still growing at his own pace, preparing all factors to succeed on the court.

"I remember when his father called me and spoke to me about the possibility of coaching Martín. I wasn't sure if I was willing to coach a 14-year-old boy. He asked me if I knew him. I liked what I saw immediately. We connected very well from the start. From the beginning, I saw that he was a very pleasant, mature, and responsible boy. On the court, he was willing to work and eager to learn. Honestly, it was easy to start working with him," Burrieza said about the beginning of his adventure with the young tennis player, as reported on the official ATP page.

Martín Landaluce's Strong Point

"As a coach, every time you achieve a good result with your player, you feel proud and happy. Happy for them, but also for yourself and the work you have done. When Martín became the junior world number 1 and won the junior US Open title, they were very special moments, but honestly, it doesn't change much.

We enjoy the training weeks, not just the competition. For me, his mental balance is one of his greatest talents. Tennis is mentally brutal. Most weeks, you lose, but Martín has the ability to wake up the next day and train again as if nothing happened. He reconnects emotionally. Whether he is about to play in the Mutua Madrid Open or in a Futures match, he acts the same. That consistency in his attitude is uncommon. We don't need to be friends because I am his coach. I care a lot about him as a person. I love him, and I really want the best for him."
