		The veteran Manuel Orantes won the $100,000 British clay-court title today with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over a compatriot, Angel Gimenez, then lashed out at the Spanish Tennis Federation.

	Manuel Martinez Santana "Manolo" - International Tennis Hall of Fame
		One of the masters of legerdemain, Manuel Martinez "Manolo" Santana was the first post-World War II European to gain universal respect because he not only won the most difficult clay-court event, the French singles in 1961 and 1964, but also the grass-court gems, Wimbledon of 1966 and the U.S. Championship of 1965 at Forest Hills.
		His successes spurred the rapid development of tennis in Spain, where the sport was not much noticed prior to 1965, His protégé was Manuel Orantes, called Manolito (Little Manolo), who won the U.S. Championship at Forest Hills a decade after his own, though the surface had by then been transformed to clay.
		He was named to the Hall of Fame in 1984, the second Spaniard, following Manuel Alonso.

		Don Manuel was known as a loving and dedicated protector of the sea turtles, and he was very particular about who he invited to work with these mysterious creatures.
		One day, Don Manuel showed up in Pedro's village looking for the "guy who works with sea turtles." Pedro's first thought was that he was in trouble, knowing that sea turtles are protected and it is illegal to disturb them or their nests without permits.
		At the end of that year Don Manuel’s life sadly came to an end, but not before he was able to pass his legacy on to Pedro.

	Hewitt's search for weakness - Tennis - Sport - smh.com.au
		Before Lopez took the misfiring 10th seed Ancic apart in three one-sided sets, no Spaniard had reached the quarter-finals here since Manuel Orantes in 1972.
		He has a big, slicing left-handed serve and a powerful, flat forehand that could well have made him competitive even in the eras of Sampras, McEnroe and, well, Orantes.
		As he was reminded by a Spanish journalist, Hewitt has become something of a killjoy in Spain given he has beaten his last 11 opponents from that country.
