Caratti turned professional in 1989. His highest achievement was reaching the quarter-finals at the
1991 Australian Open, defeating eventual Wimbledon champion
Richard Kraijcek before losing to
Patrick McEnroe. Thanks to this result, the right-hander reached his highest singles
ATP-ranking on 22 July 1991, when he became World No. 26. He then represented his native country at the
1992 Summer Olympics in
Barcelona, but was defeated in the first round by then France's No.1 player
Guy Forget. His last tournament win on the senior tour took place in 2000 at the
Knoxville Challenger, where in the final he again defeated an up-and-coming Slam winner,
Andy Roddick, who would also be ranked world No.1 three years later. ==ATP Career Finals==
