He faced lucky loser Andrey Kuznetsov in the quarterfinals and won in straight sets. His run was stopped in the semifinals by eventual championGuillermo García-López, again in a close three-set match.

In May, he made his Major debut at the French Open after qualifying.

In February 2018, Carballés Baena won his first ATP title at the Ecuador Open Quito, defeating second seed Albert Ramos Viñolas in the final. He became the first Spanish qualifier to win a title since Nicolás Almagro at the 2006 Valencia Open. This victory resulted in him reaching a career-high singles ranking of world No. 72.

In February 2020, Carballés Baena won his first ATP doubles title at the Chile Open in Santiago. He and compatriot Alejandro Davidovich Fokina defeated the second-seeded pair of Marcelo Arévalo and Jonny O’Mara in the final.

At the 2020 French Open, Carballés Baena reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time. He defeated ninth seed Denis Shapovalov in the second round to record his first top-20 win and first victory in five sets^[5] before retiring in his next match against 18th seed Grigor Dimitrov.

In April 2021, Carballés Baena won his first title of the year at the Belgrade Challenger. In May, he qualified for the Masters 1000 in Rome for the first time.

The previous-longest match was in 2020, when Albert Ramos-Vinolas outlasted Pablo Andújar in three hours and 20 minutes.^[8]

Five years after his first ATP title, he won his second at the Grand Prix Hassan II in Marrakesh, defeating fifth seed Maxime Cressy in the first round, fourth seed Tallon Griekspoor in the quarterfinals, second seed Dan Evans in the semifinals, and Alexandre Müller in the final.^[9] As a result, he moved to a new career high in the top 50 at world No. 49 on 10 April 2023.^[10]

A few weeks later, Carballés Baena won a match at the Madrid Open for the first time in his career and only his fifth win at the Masters 1000 level, defeating David Goffin in the first round before losing to 13th seed Alexander Zverev in three sets in the second round. He then won his first match ever in Rome, defeating Hugo Dellien in the first round. In the second round, he defeated Dan Evans for a second time in the season in a marathon lasting almost four hours — the then-longest best-of-three-set match of the season — to reach the third round of a Masters tournament for the first time in his career.^[11]

At the French Open, Carballés Baena defeated qualifier Emilio Nava before losing to fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round.

At Wimbledon, he came from a set down to defeat qualifier Matteo Arnaldi in four sets before losing to sixth seed Holger Rune in the second round.

At the US Open, Carballés Baena was again drawn to play Rune, this time in the first round. He defeated the fourth-seeded Rune in four sets to record his first-ever victory over a top-10 player.^[6] In the following round, he lost to Aslan Karatsev in four sets.
