In April 2022, he won the Miami Open, defeating Casper Ruud, whom he would later face in the US Open finals. Carlos also achieved notable success in 2021, winning his first title at the Open de Oeiras III Challenger Tournament and his first ATP title at the Croatia Open Umag, becoming the youngest tour-level champion since Kei Nishikori in 2008 and the youngest Spaniard since Rafael Nadal in 2004.
His career has continued to soar, earning two Masters 1000 titles at Indian Wells and the Miami Open, as well as an ATP 500 title. With a career-high ranking of 4th in ATP singles, Carlos currently holds five titles, primarily focusing on his singles career.
