Tennis career
2017: ATP debut
Altmaier made his ATP main draw debut as a qualifier at the 2017 Geneva Open, defeating Alexander Ward and Petr Michnev in qualifying. He lost to Sam Querrey in the first round.
He won his first ATP tour-level match as a lucky loser at the 2017 Antalya Open when he beat Víctor Estrella Burgos. In the next round, he defeated wildcard Marsel İlhan to reach the quarterfinals, where he lost to Yūichi Sugita. Both of his victories were decided by a third set tiebreak.[1]
2020: Grand Slam debut & fourth round & first top-10 win
Shoulder and hip injuries held back Altmaier’s progress in his tennis career, but victories in qualifying over Tallon Griekspoor and Ruben Bemelmans led to his Grand Slam debut at the 2020 French Open, where he defeated Feliciano Lopez, 30th seed Jan-Lennard Struff and 7th seed Matteo Berrettini, all of them in straight sets.[2][3] In the fourth round, he lost to Pablo Carreño Busta.
2021: Two ATP semifinals on clay, Masters and Top 100 debuts
In October, Altmaier recorded his first win at a Masters 1000 level on his debut at the 2021 BNP Paribas Open defeating Sam Querrey.[4]
Altmaier made his debut in the top 100 on 15 November 2021 at World No. 98 following the final at the 2021 Knoxville Challenger. He followed this by winning his third Challenger title for the year at the 2021 Puerto Vallarta Open.
2022: Grand Slam debut at three majors, top 60
He made his Grand Slam debut at the 2022 Australian Open and 2022 Wimbledon Championships.
At the 2022 US Open also on his debut, he took Jannik Sinner to five sets in his first round match.[5]
2023: Maiden Masters quarterfinal
He entered the 2023 Mutua Madrid Open as a lucky loser replacing 18th seed Pablo Carreno Busta directly into the second round, for only his second time at this round at a Masters 1000 level. He defeated compatriots Oscar Otte and Yannick Hanfmann to reach the fourth round for the first time in his career at the Masters level.[6] He reached the quarterfinals for the first time defeating Jaume Munar in straight sets and moved 30 positions back up in the top 65 in the rankings.[7][8] He lost to Borna Coric in straight sets.[9][10]
