Bio and Career
Pablo Carreño Busta was born on July 12th, 1991, in Gijón, Spain, and he started playing tennis when he was 6 years old. At the age of 15 he started focus even more on tennis and began training at the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona.
We saw his talent already in the junior years and he reached a high no 6 in the combined junior world rankings in February 2009, the same year he eventually turned pro.
Carreño Busta’s breakthrough came in 2016, winning his first ATP title in Winston-Salem and reaching the US Open doubles final with Guillermo García-López. In 2017, he reached his first ATP 500 final in Rio de Janeiro and got into the US Open semifinals, marking his best Grand Slam result. This year he also debuted at the Nitto ATP Finals.
He claimed the Chengdu Open in 2019 and contributed to Spain’s 2019 Davis Cup victory. In 2020, he reached the US Open semifinals and Roland Garros quarterfinals, notably defeating Novak Djokovic via default at Roland Garros. His 2020 Tokyo Olympics bronze medal, earned by beating Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev, marked a big moment for the Spaniard.
