Carretero, a former junior French Open Champion shocked the tennis world by winning the title in Hamburg as a virtual unknown player ranked outside the top 300. En route to the title he defeated two top 50 players, two top 20 players and most notably, Yevgeny Kafelnikov in the semi-finals, who was ranked #7 in the world at the time. After winning the title, Carretero lost in the first round of Roland Garros and did not have any significant results other than winning a Challenger tournament held in Sopot, Poland in 1999.
He discontinued playing on the professional tour after 2001. His tennis career can literally be called a "one hit wonder".
