In November 2024, he captured his maiden ATP Challenger Tour singles title at the inaugural edition of the 2024 Brazzaville Challenger, becoming the first player representing Venezuela to win a Challenger title in 24 years, since Jimy Szymanski in Tulsa in 2000.[4][5][6][7] A month later, he reached his second Challenger singles final at the 2024 Manzanillo Open, where he lost to Mats Rosenkranz.[8][9]
