Cachin made his ATP main-draw debut as a wildcard in the doubles competition of the 2015 Argentina Open, partnering Facundo Argüello. They saved a match point and defeated the second-seeded pair of Máximo González and Horacio Zeballos before losing to Carlos Berlocq and Diego Schwartzman in the second round.

Cachin entered his first Grand Slam tournament at the 2015 Wimbledon Championships, but was eliminated by Jimmy Wang 4–6, 6–3, 7–5 in the first round of the qualifying competition.

In September 2015, ranked No. 248, Cachin won his maiden Challenger title at the Copa Sevilla, defeating top seed and world No. 54 Pablo Carreño Busta in the final.

By 2019, Cachin had increased his ranking enough to receive entry into Grand Slam qualifying competitions. Ranked No. 232, he participated in Roland Garros, where he was defeated by wildcard Elliot Benchetrit in the first round.

Cachin then participated in the qualifying competition at Wimbledon, losing in the first round to Tallon Griekspoor.

At the US Open qualifying competition, he lost to Blaž Kavčič in the first round.

He made his top 100 debut after winning his fifth Challenger title in Todi at World No. 98 on 11 July 2022. He moved to No. 66 on 22 August 2022 after his sixth Challenger title in the Dominican Republic.[3][2]

At the US Open, Cachin received direct entry in to the main draw and defeated Aljaž Bedene in five sets in a fifth set with a super 10-point tiebreak, becoming the first player to win a match at the US Open under the new tiebreak rule. He then defeated wildcard Brandon Holt again in five sets with a super tiebreak after being two sets down to move onto the third round for the first time at a Major.[4][2] As a result, he entered the top 60 in the rankings.

In October, he faced Andy Murray in the round of 16 of the Gijón Open losing in the third set tiebreak.[5]
