In 2007 Delbonis began his professional career, which was marked by failures for a long time. Two years later, however, he achieved his breakthrough: In February 2009, he celebrated his first tournament victory at an ITF future tournament in Guatemala , which was followed by other good results in the ATP Challenger Tour . In August he won the Challenger tournament in Manerbio , Italy after a 6-1, 6-3 in the final against Leonardo Tavares .

With another finals in Rimini, the Argentine moved up to 117th, which is his best world ranking so far. In the same year he took part for the first time in the qualifications of the US Open , Australian Open and French Open , but was eliminated each time in the first round.
The year 2011 began for Delbonis with a Challenger semi-finals in São Paulo , but otherwise went for a long time without any real success.
