Playing career

A clay court specialist, he competed in the main draw of the French Open in 1981, 1982, 1984 and 1985.[3] The Spaniard had his best performance at the 1982 French Open, where he reached the third round, with wins over Patrizio Parrini and Chris Lewis, the latter in a walkover.[3]
He was a quarter-finalist at Madrid in 1979, Barcelona in 1980, Bordeaux in 1981 and Bari in 1984.[3] His only semi-final appearance was at the 1987 Bordeaux Open.[3] However, as a doubles player, he reached the Barcelona semi-finals in 1984, partnering Lorenzo Fargas.[3] Two year earlier in Indianapolis, Urpi and doubles partner Rick Fagel had an upset win over Mark Edmondson and Kim Warwick, a pairing that were dual Australian Open winners.[3]
