Since turning professional in 2006, Santiago Giraldo has competed in lower-tier events at Buenos Aries, Bogotá and Asuncion. He reached the final at Bogotá in October 2007 but he lost out in straight sets. Giraldo reached the main draw of his first slam in 2007, losing to eventual semi-finalist Novak Đoković at the French Open.

Santiago played in his first major non-Grand Slam singles tournament on 12–15 March 2008, the Indian Wells Masters Series, where he lost to world number 2 Rafael Nadal in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, in the second round.[1] He beat Werner Eschauer in the first round after coming through two rounds of qualifying. Giraldo then qualified for the 2008 Miami Masters, where he lost in round 1. He played in the 2008 French Open after the withdrawal of home-favourite Richard Gasquet through injury, but he lost in the first round against Florent Serra of France.
