Among his professional highlights was reaching the final of the Australian Open on grass in 1969, just before winning Roland Garros in 1972, which catapulted him to global fame.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to his successful career, we at Reindesa have fond memories of him because <\/span><b>Andr\u00e9s Gimeno was the face of Tenis Reindesa<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
