Born in 1976, Rincón grew up on a farm near the city of Duitama and is one of five siblings. His elder brother is tennis player Mario Rincón.[1]

As a professional player he competed mostly at satellite and Challenger level, with an ATP Tour main draw appearance at the 1997 Colombian Open, where he lost in the first round to Vince Spadea.[2][3]

From 1997 to 2001 he was a member of the Colombia Davis Cup team and featured in nine singles rubbers, for wins over Luis Horna (Peru), Roger Smith (Bahamas) and Pablo Bianchi (Uruguay).[1]
