Carreno Busta Begins Chase For First Title At Home In Marbella

Spoiler:

Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta made a good start towards claiming his first ATP Tour title on home soil Wednesday when he defeated countryman Mario Vilella Martinez 7-6(2), 6-3 in one hour and 38 minutes to reach the quarter-finals of the AnyTech365 Andalucia Open.

The top seed saved the two break points he faced and won 73 per cent of his first-serve points to triumph against the qualifier. Carreno Busta has lifted four tour-level trophies in his career, and the World No. 15 is trying to add a fifth to his collection this week in Marbella.

"It was a very important match for me, to be back in competition after several weeks. It was important to start well, to gain confidence," Carreno Busta said. "I knew it was going to be a tough opponent, who came from qualifying, and the first matches are complicated. I have had a good level of tennis and now I have rhythm and I will improve. I played aggressive and with a very good attitude and that will help me for the next match."

Top seed Pablo Carreno Busta had a much more straightforward path to the last four after cruising to a 6-4, 6-0 win against seventh seed Soonwoo Kwon. He set up a semi-final meeting with familiar foe Albert Ramos-Vinolas, who needed two hours and 47 minutes to defeat Norbert Gombos 6-7(4), 7-5, 6-4.

Carreno-Busta will bring a 2-1 FedEx ATP Head2Head lead into their encounter, where he will try to make it three clay-court victories in a row over Ramos-Vinolas.

Carreno Busta To Meet Munar In All-Spanish Marbella Final

Spoiler:

Munar defeats #NextGenATP Alcaraz to reach first ATP Tour final
Top seed Pablo Carreno Busta was made to work after claiming a one-sided opening set against Albert Ramos-Vinolas on Saturday, fighting through 6-1, 3-6, 7-6(5) to book a spot into the AnyTech365 Andalucia Open final.

Carreno Busta improved to 3-1 in the ATP Head2Head after claiming his third clay-court victory over his countryman in Marbella. Their fourth clash seemed like it was going to be a quick win for Carreno Busta, who soon took control on Estadio Manolo Santana.

“It was so close. I don’t know what happened in the second set,” Carreno Busta said in an on-court interview. “At the beginning of the match, I was very focussed on my game and being aggressive. After that, Albert of course started to push [back] more and started to lose my level a little bit.

“I just kept fighting all the time, and I want to thank everyone [in the crowd] for their support. This is what we missed last year, the crowd. It’s very important to play these kinds of very close matches with a crowd like this.”

The top seed was overpowering Ramos-Vinolas from the baseline, and finding joy by injecting variety into their exchanges with changes of pace and quick hands at the net. Carreno Busta took a commanding 5-0 lead before Ramos-Vinolas found his footing, but he was soon in for a battle as his countryman found his range in the second set.

Ramos-Vinolas’ serve was firing, and he raised his level to take control of the rallies. In the opening set, Ramos-Vinolas won only one point from 10 off of his second serve, and was hitting 56 per cent (14/25) of first serves. He had greatly improved his numbers and found more first serves (21/28) in the second. For the 12th time in his last 13 matches, Ramos-Vinolas sent them into a deciding set (8-3).

The fourth seed carried that positive momentum as he bossed proceedings in the decider, and was two points from victory as he served for the match at 5-4. But a double fault and errant forehand from Ramos-Vinolas handed Carreno Busta a lifeline to level the score at 5-5. He needed three match points in the decider, sealing the victory after two hours and 11 minutes for a spot into his eighth career final.

Carreno Busta Wins First Title At Home In Marbella

Spoiler:

The top seed claims his first meeting against Munar to lift the trophy

Pablo Carreno Busta won his first ATP Tour title at home on Sunday, defeating fellow Spaniard Jaume Munar 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 to claim the AnyTech365 Andalucia Open trophy in Marbella.

The top seed clinched his 200th tour-level victory by defeating the 23-year-old in the championship match. Carreno Busta needed to summon all of his experience to triumph after two hours and 21 minutes.

Now a five-time ATP Tour titlist, Carreno Busta was relentless in his pursuit of the win. At 4-4 in the decider, Munar fought hard to avoid losing serve. But on his seventh break point of the game, the favourite finally made good on his opportunity, blasting a backhand return up the line from deep in the court to force an error from his younger adversary.

Carreno Busta earned 17 break points in the match. Although he was unable to convert just four of them, it was enough to claim his first title since Chengdu in 2019.

Next Gen ATP Finals alumnus Munar put forth a tremendous effort in his maiden ATP Tour final. The World No. 95 scratched and clawed no matter what Carreno Busta threw at him, but it was not enough to earn his first crown at this level. The World No. 15 was just a bit better on the day.

Munar was comfortable in Marbella, where he is now 12-3 on the ATP Tour and ATP Challenger Tour combined. He reached Challenger finals at this venue in 2020 and 2021 before his impressive run this week.

Did You Know?
This was the first all-Spanish final on the ATP Tour since 11 February 2018, when Roberto Carballes Baena defeated Albert Ramos-Vinolas in Quito.
