Pablo Carreno Busta (PCB) had only two years in his career, 2017 and 2020, where he was a truly relevant player, and even in those years he failed to advance to the QF of more than 2 slams.
PCB had a very one-dimensional game after 2020, and now towards the end of his career, other players on the tour are openly contemptuous of his inability to play at the net. At Wimbledon, PCB was just another guy in the Top 100 struggling to win even a round.
While the crown jewel of PCB's career, his victory over Djokovic at the 2020 US Open is nothing to sneeze at, you have to consider that out of the many occasions from 2013-2020 when he played a Big 3 member, he lost 13 of 15 matches (0-1 vs Fed; 0-8 vs Rafa; and 2-4 vs Djoker).
Both of PCB's victories against Djokovic ('20 USO and '21 Olympics) were due, plain and simple, to Djokovic having self-inflicted meltdowns due to the stress of having to play baseline rallies against PCB.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ADF) skipped all slams from 2013 - 2017. If ADF had bothered showing up at all he would have already had a more successful career, and people would have ADF ahead of PCB among Spanish three-letter players.
