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

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

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.
