Juan Sebastián Cabal Valdés is a professional tennis player from Colombia and a former No. 1 in the world in doubles. His success has primarily come from his doubles play, despite having a career-high singles ranking of No. 184 in February 2011.
In addition to making history for Colombian tennis with his doubles performance with Argentine Eduardo Schwank at the 2011 French Open, the year 2011 is remembered as Cabal’s ATP and Grand Slam debut as well as his greatest year. They won 7-6(4), 6-3 over the top-ranked team of brothers Mike and Bob Bryan in the semifinals before losing to Daniel Nestor and Max Mirnyi in the championship match.
He paired up with Robert Farah once more and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2013 Australian Open. At the ATP250 2013 Open de Nice Côte d’Azur, they also advanced to the final that year. He has a year-end ranking of No. 43 in the world. The year 2019 was the most fruitful for Cabal and Farah.
At Wimbledon in 2019, they won their first grand slam men’s doubles title, defeating Frenchmen Nicolas Mahut and Édouard Roger-Vasselin in a thrilling five-set match that required four tie-break sets. This victory helped Farah and Cabal both rise to the top of the world the week after the Championships.
Second-seeded Cabal and Farah advanced to the semifinals of the 2021 French Open but were defeated by eventual champions, Pierre-Hughes Herbert.
