In the late 1990s he started competing professionally and in his early satellite career had wins over Juan Carlos Ferrero, Gastón Gaudio and a young Rafael Nadal, who he beat twice in a week at a Spanish tournament in 2001. At Challenger level he won one title, the doubles at Antwerp in 2001, partnering Canada's Jerry Turek.
