Iván Navarro Pastor (Spanish pronunciation: [iˈβan naˈβaro pasˈtoɾ]; born 19 October 1981) is a retired professional tennis player from Spain. He was sponsored by Head and Li-Ning for his racquets and attire. He employed the serve-and-volley strategy, very much like his compatriot Feliciano López. During his playing career, he had a unique habit of changing racquets each game, using one racquet for serving and another for returning. He reached a career high singles ranking of 67 in March 2009.
