One month later, Martincová once again came through qualifying at the Baku Cup, defeating Oksana Kalashnikova in the first round,[3] but losing to Tadeja Majerič in the second.[4]

In 2014, first WTA tournament for Martincová was the Nürnberger Versicherungscup, where she passed the qualifying rounds, and then in the main draw lost to Anastasia Rodionova.[5] She qualified for the Swedish Open in Båstad, where Mona Barthel defeated her in the first round.[6] In the Coupe Banque Nationale in Quebec City, Martincová once again passed qualifying, but again lost in the first main-draw round, this time to Shelby Rogers.[7]

In 2015, Martincová made her first WTA Tour quarterfinal at the Brasil Tennis Cup after victories over Quirine Lemoine and Ajla Tomljanović. She also made her Grand Slam debut at the US Open.

In 2016, she improved her best performance on the WTA Tour, making it to the semifinals of the Coupe Banque Nationale, and earning victories over Barbora Krejčíková, Ekaterina Alexandrova and Jessica Pegula.

Martincová realized her best performance at a Grand Slam championship in 2017, reaching the first round at the US Open by defeating Valentini Grammatikopoulou, Vera Lapko and Georgia Brescia in qualifying. She repeated her best performance on the WTA Tour, reaching the semifinals of the Ladies Championship Gstaad.

At the Qatar Open, she went through qualifying defeating Kristýna Plíšková and Misaki Doi.

Notes
  1. The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The two tournaments have since alternated status every year. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
  2. In 2014, the Toray Pan Pacific Open was downgraded to a Premier event and replaced by the Wuhan Open. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
  3. 2011: WTA ranking – 876, 2012: WTA ranking – 457.
