Career edit

Barrientos made his first appearance on an ATP World Tour in July 2013 when he lost in the first round of 2013 Claro Open Colombia against Ruben Bemelmans.

He made his doubles Major debut at the 2014 US Open partnering compatriot Santiago Giraldo and won his first Major match against Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchins.

At the 2023 Córdoba Open he reached the quarterfinals with Ariel Behar.[2] At the next Golden swing tournament, he reached the final at the 2023 Argentina Open also with Behar where they lost to Bolelli/Fognini.[3]

In 2024, Barrientos began a partnership with Rafael Matos which started to produce good results. At the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires, they reached the semifinals, and in the following ATP 500 tournament in Rio de Janeiro, they won their biggest title, defeating strong pairs such as Krawietz/Putz, Bolelli/Vavassori and Erler/Miedler in the final.[4][5][6] As a result he reached the top 50 in the rankings on 4 March 2024.
