Tien Aims for Top 15 After Dominant Run
3 Jan
Summary
- Tien has won nine of his last 10 ATP Tour matches.
- Carabelli lost 66% of his hardcourt matches last year.
- Tien leads their head-to-head 1-0, winning in 2025.

Learner Tien is poised to make a strong statement at the Brisbane International, facing Camilo Ugo Carabelli in the opening round. Tien, a rising talent, has demonstrated remarkable consistency, securing nine victories out of his last ten matches on the ATP Tour. This dominant streak includes a recent title triumph at the ATP Next Gen Finals, where he defeated Alexander Blockx.
In contrast, Camilo Ugo Carabelli experienced a less stellar previous season, with his best results being semifinal appearances in Bastad and Umag. Carabelli's hardcourt performance last year was particularly weak, marked by a 66% match loss rate. His recent form also shows a second-round exit at the Paris Masters.
Tien, who is nearing a top 15 ranking, boasts a 1-0 lead in head-to-head encounters against Carabelli, having defeated him at the 2025 Australian Open. The young American's offensive style and recent success are expected to give him a significant advantage over Carabelli in Brisbane.
