Tennis career
2014-2015: First ATP win
In a first-round contest between two qualifiers, Carballés Baena recorded his first ATP World Tour win at the 2014 Casablanca Open as he defeated David Goffin of Belgium in straight sets.[5] He followed this up with a tightly fought win over João Sousa in the second round. He faced lucky loser Andrey Kuznetsov in the quarterfinals and won in straight sets. His run was stopped in the semifinals by Guillermo García-López, again in a close three-set match.
2016-2018: Grand Slam debut, top 100 debut, first singles ATP title
In February 2018, he won his first ATP tournament at the 2018 Ecuador Open Quito, beating Albert Ramos Vinolas in the final. He became the 1st Spanish qualifier to win a title since Almagro at the 2006 Valencia Open and the youngest Spanish champion at age 24 since Nadal (age 24) at the 2011 Barcelona Open. This victory resulted in him reaching the highest singles ranking of his career of World No. 72 thus far.
2019-2021: French Open third round, first doubles title, Olympics debut
In February 2020, Carballés Baena won his first ATP title in doubles at the 2020 Chile Open in Santiago, partnering with fellow Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, where they defeated in the final the 2nd seeded pair Arévalo/O’Mara. He reached the third round of the 2020 French Open, his best showing at a Grand Slam in his career by defeating 9th seed Denis Shapovalov in the second round, but retired in the next round against 18th seed Grigor Dimitrov.
In April 2021, he won his first title of the year at the 2021 Belgrade Challenger. Carballés Baena qualified to represent Spain at the 2020 Summer Olympics in singles and doubles partnering with Pablo Andujar. In September 2021, following his 2021 US Open second round showing, he reached his third Challenger final of the year as a top seed at the 2021 Murcia Open in Spain, losing to second seed Tallon Griekspoor. At the same tournament he also reached the final in doubles partnering Alberto Barroso Campos.
