Biography

Gisbert-Schultze was born in Frankfurt, West Germany, before emigrating to Spain, the country of his father, Davis Cup player Juan Gisbert, Sr. His mother, Margrit Schultze, is a German school teacher.

He was a losing finalist to Àlex Corretja in the 16s competition of the 1990 Orange Bowl. In the doubles event he partnered with Corretja and the pair finished runners-up. Residing in Barcelona, Gisbert-Schultze was twice a member of Spain's Galea Cup winning teams, in 1991 and 1992.

A serve and volleyer, Gisbert-Schultze turned professional in 1992 and won two Challenger titles that year, on clay courts in Buenos Aires and Naples, Florida. At ATP Tour level he came close to an upset win over top seed Thomas Muster at the 1992 Cologne Open, losing two tiebreaks after winning the first set. In 1993 he had his best season on the ATP Tour. He qualified for the German Open (now Hamburg Masters) and made the quarter-finals of the Croatia Open, with wins over Jordi Arrese and Alberto Mancini, before he again lost to Muster. At his next tournament after Umag, in Palermo, he managed to beat Alberto Berasategui.

He has been a high ranking paddle tennis player since retiring from the ATP Tour.
