Hernández made his ATP main draw debut at the 2022 Abierto Mexicano Telcel after receiving a wildcard into the singles main draw.[3][4] He lost to Pablo Andújar after winning only one game.[5]
At the 2022 Los Cabos Open he won his first round match against lucky loser Colombian Nicolás Barrientos becoming the first Mexican in the singles history of the tournament to win a match in the main draw.[6] Hernández played second seed Félix Auger-Aliassime in the next round and lost in straight sets.[7] As a result, he moved more than 50 positions up in the rankings into the top 500 and the following week reached a new career-high ranking of No. 462 on 15 August 2022.[5]
He received a qualifying wildcard for the Challenger 125, the 2023 Mexico City Open but lost in the first qualifying round to Evan Zhu[8] and for the 2024 edition and this time advanced to the main draw after qualifying.[9]
Hernández also received a wildcard for the new Challenger 125 tournament in Mexico, the 2025 Morelia Open and defeated Colombian Nicolás Mejía in the first round[10] and eight seed Juan Pablo Ficovich in the second recording his biggest win of his career thus far, to reach his first Challenger quarterfinal.[11]
Ranked No. 493 at the 2025 Los Cabos Open as a wildcard entry, Hernández recorded his second and biggest career ATP win over Daniel Taro, after he trailed 3-6, 2-5, and reached a new career ranking of world No. 431 on 21 July 2025.[12][13][14]
