2020: Grand Slam debut & fourth round & first top-10 win[edit]

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 López, 30th seed Jan-Lennard Struff and 7th seed Matteo Berrettini, all of them in straight sets.[4][5] In the fourth round, he lost to Pablo Carreño Busta.

2021: Two ATP semifinals on clay, Masters and Top 100 debuts[edit]

In October, Altmaier recorded his first win at a Masters 1000 level on his debut at the 2021 BNP Paribas Open defeating Sam Querrey.[6]

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[edit]

He qualified for the 2023 Halle Open as a lucky loser but had to withdraw last minute due to hip injury.[17][18]

At the 2023 US Open, he won his first main draw match at this Major defeating Constant Lestienne. As a result he reached the top 50 in the rankings. At the 2023 Paris Masters, he reached the third round after a walkover from Taylor Fritz who was injured.
