Juan Antonio Marín Casero (born 2 March 1975) is a former professional male tennis player from Costa Rica , who represented the Central American nation at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney .
He originally played on tour under the Spanish flag, as he was born to a father from Murcia and a mother from Asturias , and lived in Spain since the age of 14.[ 1] [ 2] However, in May 1998 he began representing Costa Rica.[ 3]
In October 1999, Marín reached his career-high singles ranking of world No. 55. Previously that year he came close to beating the then-world No. 2 Pete Sampras at the 1999 French Open , with the American eventually winning 6–7, 6–4, 7–5, 6–7, 6–4. He never won a Grand Slam main draw match, despite appearing in 17.
