Ana Isabel Medina Garrigues (Spanish: [ana'ßel me'ðina ?a'ri?es], Valencian: [ana'b?l me'ðina ?a'ri?es]; born 31 July 1982) is a Spanish tennis coach and former player. As a player she reached a career-high ranking of world No.
16 in 2009, and won 11 singles and 28 doubles titles, including the 2008 and 2009 French Open with Virginia Ruano Pascual.
Like many of her Spanish compatriots, she was a clay-court specialist who grinds to win most of her rallies.
However, unlike most of her fellow Spaniards, she preferred to play on hard courts. She won the WTA tournament in Strasbourg, beating Katarina Srebotnik in the final in May 2008, thus defending the title she won the previous year against Amélie Mauresmo.
Her other singles titles came at Palermo in 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2001, at Canberra in 2006, Strasbourg in 2005 and Fès in 2009. After retirement from singles tennis (she continues playing doubles) at the end of the 2014 season, Medina Garrigues became a professional coach, gaining success while working for Jelena Ostapenko, who won the 2017 French Open Grand Slam title.
In late 2017, she was named captain of Spain's Fed Cup team.
She has also become tournament organizer at Valencia Open.
