There are few Argentine tennis players who defeated Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Martin Garcia -popularly known as Tero- was one of them. He did it in the doubles category, in which he won eight titles at the APT level and in which he was ranked number 21 in the ranking. Once he left professional activity, he continued to be linked to the world of tennis, both as a teacher and as vice-captain of the Argentine team. In addition, he dedicated himself to the gastronomic field and now made an important bet in Misiones.

Victories against Federer, Nadal and Djokovic
In 2019, Martín García spoke with Pasa de Todo and recalled what his victories were like – in doubles – against the three most decisive tennis players in history: “They were among the 10 or 15 in the world, none of them were still number 1 in the world. I beat Djokovic at Wimboledon, I beat Federer at the Cincinatti Masters and with Nadal it was when he won his first ATP in Poland“In the doubles quarterfinals I had to face him and I was lucky to beat him.”
