After a first round win over Michael Russell , he met the top 20 player Fernando González in the second round , whom he defeated in three sets.

A month later, like last year, he played his way to the final in Seville and met Pere Riba there again. This time Ramos was able to prevail in three sets and win his second title of the season. As a result, he improved in the world rankings to his best placing 109 to date.

2012: First ATP final

The year 2012 began for Albert Ramos at the ATP tournament in Doha , where he was eliminated in the quarterfinals against the eventual tournament winner Jo-Wilfried Tsonga . After a first round defeat in his Australian Open debut against the later quarter-finalist Tomáš Berdych , who was placed 7th , Ramos took part in several South American ATP clay court tournaments in February 2012. He reached an ATP semifinals for the first time in São Paulo after defeating Fernando Verdasco , who was placed in 3rd position , in which he was defeated by the eventual tournament winner Nicolás Almagro . In Buenos Aires and Acapulco he failed each in the round of 16, but was able to defeat each seeded player with Juan Ignacio Chela and Juan Mónaco . Also at the following hard court Masters tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami , Ramos threw Richard Gasquet and Feliciano López each seeded top 20 player out of the competition and thus reached the third round in both tournaments.
