Carreno Busta Battles Back For First Masters 1000 Crown
Probably "one of the worst years" of his career? Probably not anymore.
Pablo Carreno Busta gave that assessment of his 2022 campaign prior to Sunday's Montreal final. The Spaniard supercharged his season by winning his first ATP Masters 1000 title with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory against Hubert Hurkacz.
The 31-year-old worked his way into the match by dialling up his aggression and locking in on return to control the last two sets. After being gifted a momentum-shifting break early in the second set, Carreno Busta earned his breakthrough in the third game of set three as he closed in on the biggest win of his career.
Carreno Busta moved up nine places to No. 14 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings this week. He is also up to 11th in the Pepperstone ATP Live Race To Turin, soaring 18 places.
