Career

2023: ATP debut, Maiden Challenger title, top 125 debut

Darderi made his ATP debut at the 2023 Córdoba Open as a qualifier where he recorded his first ATP win against Hugo Gaston. He entered the main draw of the 2023 Mexican Open as a lucky loser following the withdrawal of top seed Carlos Alcaraz. In August, he won his first Challenger title in Todi. He won his second Challenger title in Lima.^[1] As a result he made his top 125 debut on 13 November 2023.

2024: First ATP title, top 65 debut

Ranked No. 136, he qualified for the main draw and recorded his next five ATP wins at the 2024 Córdoba Open. He defeated Tomás Barrios Vera and stunned fourth seed Sebastian Ofner^[2] and seventh seed Yannick Hanfmann to reach his first ATP semifinal.^[3] Next he defeated defending champion and second seed Sebastián Báez, his first top-30 win, to reach his first ATP career final where he faced fellow qualifier Facundo Bagnis and won the title in straight sets. It was the third time since the inception of the ATP Tour in 1990 that two qualifiers met in an ATP 250 tournament final, after 2015 Sydney and 2018 Kitzbuhel.^[4]^[5] As a result he moved up 60 positions and reached the top 80 in the rankings on 12 February 2024.^[6]^[7]^[8] He entered the next Golden swing tournament, the 2024 Argentina Open with a special exempt (SE) status.^[9] For the next tournament, the 2024 Chile Open, he received a wildcard where he also reached the quarterfinals defeating again two Argentines, Facundo Bagnis^[10] and this time qualifier Juan Manuel Cerundolo.

Following a second career semifinal showing at the 2024 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships he reached the top 65 in the singles rankings on 8 April 2024, where he defeated en route local wildcard Denis Kudla and two seeds, second seed Francisco Cerundolo and seventh seed Marcos Giron.^[11]
