2016: Maiden Challenger title[edit]

Marterer won his first ATP Challenger Tour singles title at the Morocco Tennis Tour in Meknes.

2017: Top 100 debut[edit]

Marterer entered the world's top 100 for the first time, becoming world No. 100 on 16 October 2017.

2018: First ATP semifinal, French Open fourth round and top 50[edit]

At the Australian Open, Marterer won his first ATP main draw match after losing 14 first round matches in a row. He defeated compatriot Cedrik-Marcel Stebe in straight sets. In the second round, he upset former top-10 player Fernando Verdasco in a five-setter before losing to Tennys Sandgren in the next round.[2]

At the Sofia Open, he reached his first ATP quarterfinal, where he lost to eventual champion Mirza Bašić in three sets.

He reached his first ATP semifinal at the BMW Open in Munich where he lost to sixth seed Philipp Kohlschreiber.

At the French Open, he defeated American Ryan Harrison in straight sets in the first round to set up a second round clash against seeded teenager Denis Shapovalov.[3] For both players it was their first appearance at the French Open, but it was Marterer who triumphed in four sets to reach the third round for the second consecutive Grand Slam.[4] His run extended to the fourth round with a straight sets win over Jürgen Zopp.[5] There, he lost to world No. 1 Rafael Nadal.[6]

2021: Back to Grand Slams and top 200[edit]

Ranked outside the top 200 at No. 215, he qualified for the 2021 French Open but lost to Filip Krajinović in the first round.[7]

Ranked World No. 209, he qualified for the main draw at the 2021 US Open after two years of absence but lost in the first round to Steve Johnson in a tight four-set match.[8]

2022: Back to top 150[edit]

He qualified for two Grand Slams, the 2022 Australian Open after two years of absence, and the 2022 Wimbledon Championships after three years of absence at the All England Club, where he won his first round match at this Major defeating Aljaž Bedene before losing to 23rd seed Frances Tiafoe. He also qualified for the last Major of the year at the US Open.[9]

2023: Wimbledon third round, Second ATP semifinal, back to Masters and top 100[edit]

At the 2023 Indian Wells Open, he qualified after more than three years of absence at a Masters level and at this tournament, but lost in the first round to fellow qualifier Alejandro Tabilo.

He also qualified for the main draw of the 2023 Wimbledon Championships and won his first round match against Borna Gojo. Next he defeated lucky loser Michael Mmoh to reach the third round at this Major for the first time and only for the third time at this level.

He reached the semifinals at the 2023 European Open in Antwerp as a qualifier, defeating seventh seed Richard Gasquet, Nuno Borges and Hugo Gaston. He became the third qualifier in tournament history to reach the semifinals after Tsitsipas in 2017 and Brooksby in 2021 (both lost to Schwartzman in the semis).[10][11]

In October, he was selected as the No. 2 ATP player at the 2024 United Cup as part of the German team. Following a Challenger final in Ismaning, Germany he returned to the top 100 on 6 November 2023.
