Pablo Carreño Busta has remained one step away from the main box of the BNP Paribas Open 2025, after his work on Monday in the first round of the previous phase.
The Spanish, No. 112 of the PIF ATP Rankings, has needed two hours and 15 minutes to win 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7) to the local Zachary Zvajda and advance to the last round of the ‘qualy’ in the first ATP Masters 1000 of the season.
After winning 4-0 in the decisive, it seemed that the match escaped the right-handed 33-year-old when his rival had Match Point to the rest in the twelfth game of the third partial. However, an error of the opponent gave life to the Spanish, who sealed the victory in his third Match Point in the Tie-Break of almost nine minutes.

The other Hispanic who advanced this Monday was Cristian Garín. The Chilean, No. 138 of the world, was responsible for eliminating the second head of the painting, the German Daniel Altmaier, with partials of 7-5, 6-4 and after an hour and 43 minutes of play.
In search of its first time in the main picture of this tournament since 2023, Garín will measure on Tuesday the Polish Kamil Majchrzak, No. 122 of the world and with whom he has a record of 1-1 counting all professional levels.
