Professional career

2000 to 2007

López Jaén cracked the top-300 as a 20 year old in 2003, but was sidelined by injury early in 2004. He regained his form in 2007, when he again cracked the top-300 late in the year.

2008

From January through March, López Jaén met with limited success, failing to qualify in his ATP attempts, and having limited success at the Futures level.

However, in April, López Jaén qualified into his first ATP tournament, beating #161 Dušan Vemić in the qualifying round before bowing out to #27 Nicolás Almagro in the main draw in Valencia, Spain. After failing to qualify the next week in Barcelona, he beat his first top-100 opponent, #97 Peter Luczak at a Challenger in Spain in May.

Later in May, López Jaén qualified for the 2008 French Open, beating #118 Brian Dabul and #242 Alex Bogdanovic to gain entry into his first Grand Slam main draw. He then won his first round match against #111 Frank Dancevic, 7-6(6), 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(2).
