He had beaten the 6^th seed, Andrey Rublev in the finals in straight sets with the score line of 6-3, 6-3. After winning in Monte Carlo, the world number 5 was the runner up in the ATP 500 event in Barcelona. He lost to Rafael Nadal in three sets with the score line of 4-6, 7-6, 5-7.

Carreño Busta is coming into the fourth round by beating world number 88, Steve Johnson in straight sets with the score line of 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. The world number 12 performed decently in the clay season as he reached the semi finals of the Barcelona Open where he ultimately lost to Rafael Nadal with the score line of 3-6, 2-6. He also played at the Madrid Open where he failed to win the match as he lost to Federico Delbonis. The Spaniard reached the round of 32 in the Italian Open but could not play the match and therefore a walkover was given to Kei Nishikori. The clay courts are favorable to Spaniard and he is expected to pose a tough challenge to Tsitsipas.
