Rafael Nadal and Simona Halep are some of the tennis stars who have paid tribute to Manolo Santana after the Spanish legend died at the age of 83. Santana, who competed from 1956 until 1977, is considered by many Spanish tennis players as the man who paved the way for them.

He won four Grand Slam singles titles – two at Roland Garros in 1961 and 1964 and one each at Wimbledon (1966) and the US Open (1965) – with all four coming during the amateur era.
