Gómez made his ATP main draw singles debut at the 2015 Claro Open Colombia where he qualified for the main draw, defeating Felipe Rojas, Andrés Molteni and Juan Ignacio Londero in the qualifying rounds. In the main draw, he defeated fifth-seed Marcos Baghdatis in the first round, but lost to the Japanese Tatsuma Ito in the second round
Gómez has a very fast and accurate serve, though one of his weaknesses are his frequent double faults, he has an average of 11 double faults per game. In fact, he recorded a 227 km/h at the 2015 Claro Open Colombia.
In August 2022, Gómez was suspended from competition after testing positive for cocaine. He was required to serve a period of ineligibility of fourteen months; that period starts on 15 December 2021, and ends on 14 February 2023. [1]
