After a strong start to the opening three months of 2013, winning 42 out of 43 matches on the ITF Circuit, Carreño entered the qualification stage of the 2013 Grand Prix Hassan II in April, held in Casablanca, Morocco.^[5] He won his three qualifying matches, and then proceeded to beat first seed and two-time Grand Prix Hassan II champion, Pablo Andújar, 6–4, 2–6, 6–3.^[20] He lost in the following round to eventual runner-up, Kevin Anderson.^[21] Later on that month, Carreño reached the semi-final stage of the 2013 Portugal Open, again progressing through the qualification rounds, before ultimately losing to Stanislas Wawrinka in three sets.^[22]
