Who Was the First Spaniard to Play at Wimbledon? the Forgotten Story of Luis De Olivares

Summary by elcorreogallego.es
In the collective memory of Spanish tennis there are names that resonate strongly: Santana, Nadal, Alcaraz. But the first of all, who dared to jump before anyone else, remains a great stranger. His name was Luis de Olivares, and just a century ago, in Wimbledon 1920, he became the first Spaniard to play a Grand Slam tournament (not to win a match on the London grass). His story, almost erased from the official story, deserves to be told.
