The pair defeated fifth seeds Santiago De La Fuente and Román Andrés Burruchaga in the final.

In June 2019, Torres played the junior events at French Open. In the boys' singles, he lost to seventh seed and eventual champion Holger Rune in the second round. Partnering with Pablo Llamas Ruiz, he reached the quarterfinals in the doubles. The pair lost to eight seeds Sergey Fomin and Gauthier Onclin.

In October 2020, Torres had his best performance at a major jr. tournament, again in Paris – he reached the semifinals in singles, losing to eventual champion Dominic Stricker. In the boys' doubles, he partnered again with Llamas Ruiz – the pair lost in the second round to third seeds and future champions Stricker and Flavio Cobolli.

He reached an ITF junior combined ranking of No. 13 on 12 October 2020.[2]
