Pablo Andújar Alba was born on January 23, 1986, in Cuenca, Spain. From the age of three, he resided in the Valencian Community, with his father hailing from Sueca, Valencia. This upbringing in Valencia laid the foundation for his future tennis career.
2. Junior Career
As a junior player, Andújar demonstrated considerable promise. He compiled an impressive singles win-loss record of 67-16 and a doubles record of 48-14. His strong performances led him to achieve a career-high combined junior world ranking of No. 5 in June 2004. A significant highlight of his junior career was winning the boys' doubles title at the 2004 French Open alongside his Spanish compatriot, Marcel Granollers. In junior Grand Slam singles events, he reached the quarterfinals of the 2004 French Open, while making first-round exits at the 2004 Wimbledon Championships and the 2004 US Open.

Pablo Andújar's professional tennis career spanned nearly two decades, marked by his consistent presence on the ATP Tour, significant title wins, and a remarkable comeback from injury.
3.1. Debut and Early Career (2004-2011)
Andújar turned professional in 2004. He made his Grand Slam debut at the 2008 French Open as a lucky loser, where he advanced to the second round by defeating Filippo Volandri. In August 2008, following consecutive victories at Challenger tournaments in Vigo and San Sebastián, he entered the top 100 of the ATP rankings, reaching World No. 88 on August 25, 2008. He competed in the 2009 Australian Open, losing in the first round to Gilles Simon.

In 2010, he reached his first ATP Tour final at the BCR Open Romania, where he was defeated by Juan Ignacio Chela.
The year 2011 marked a significant breakthrough for Andújar as he claimed his maiden ATP Tour singles title at the Grand Prix Hassan II in Morocco, triumphing over Italian Potito Starace in the final. This victory propelled him into the top 50, reaching World No. 48 on April 25, 2011. He continued his strong form by reaching two more ATP-level finals during the 2011 season, at the Stuttgart Open and again at the BCR Open Romania.

However, he made a remarkable comeback in April 2018, winning his fourth ATP tournament and his first in four years. He defeated Kyle Edmund in straight sets in the final of the Marrakesh Open, becoming the lowest-ranked tour-level titlist at World No. 355 since then-World No. 550 Lleyton Hewitt in 1998.
In September 2019, Andújar achieved his best Grand Slam singles result, reaching the fourth round of the US Open for the first time. He secured victories over Kyle Edmund, Lorenzo Sonego, and Alexander Bublik in the initial rounds before being defeated by 13th seed Gaël Monfils.
