In June 2013, Martincová made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the Nürnberger Versicherungscup. After coming through all three qualifying rounds, she lost to Estrella Cabeza Candela in round one. One month later, Martincová once again came through qualifying at the Baku Cup, defeating Oksana Kalashnikova in the first round, but losing to Tadeja Majerič in the second.
In 2014, first WTA Tour event for Martincová was the Nürnberger Versicherungscup where she qualified for the main draw, and then lost to Anastasia Rodionova. She qualified for the Swedish Open in Båstad, before Mona Barthel defeated her in the first round. At 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.
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.

Martincová realized her best performance at a major championship in 2017, reaching the first round at the US Open by defeating Valentini Grammatikopoulou, Vera Lapko and Georgia Brescia in qualifying.

At the Qatar Open, she went through qualifying defeating Kristýna Plíšková and Misaki Doi. She reached the second round of the tournament by defeating Misaki Doi (playing as lucky loser) again, and then lost to Maria Sakkari. This was the first time, she reached the main draw of a Premier-5 tournament.

### 2021–22: Top 100 in singles & doubles, WTA Tour singles final & first title in doubles

Qualified for 2021 Dubai Championships, she reached the third round at a WTA-1000 event for the first time, defeating Kristýna Plíšková and world No. 11, Kiki Bertens. After qualifying for another WTA-1000 event in Miami and making second round, where she pushed world No. 9 and eventual finalist, Bianca Andreescu, to a tiebreak in the first set, she made her top 100 singles debut. Later, she scored her first Grand Slam tournament match-win at the French Open, defeating Ivana Jorović 6–3, 7–6. She then lost to 28th seeded Jessica Pegula, in straight sets. Martincová started her grass-court season with quarterfinal showings in Nottingham and Birmingham, scoring big wins over former top-10 members and major champions, Samantha Stosur and Jeļena Ostapenko. Entering Wimbledon in good form, she stormed into the third round on grandslam for the first time, defeating former quarterfinalist Alison Riske and Nadia Podoroska. Her run was ended by eventual finalist and compatriot Karolína Plíšková.
Martincová then reached her first WTA Tour final in Prague without dropping a set. She won just two games in the championship match against compatriot and French Open champion Barbora Krejčíková. Entering the US Open unseeded, Martincová was swept aside in the first round by 18th seed Victoria Azarenka in the straight sets, despite being 4–1 up in the first set. In September 2021, she reached her first WTA 500 level quarterfinal in 2021 Ostrava Open, defeating Kateřina Siniaková and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova before losing to eventual finalist Maria Sakkari. She ended season by losing a titanic battle at Kremlin Cup, losing 4–6, 6–4, 3–6 to world No. 6 and eventual 2021 WTA Finals champion, Garbiñe Muguruza, in the second round. In November, she made her top 50 debut, finishing year as world No. 48.
Martincová qualified into the Australian Open main draw for the first time. In the first round, she defeated Lauren Davis, before she lost to 30th seeded Camila Giorgi in the second. She won just one singles match before entering the Australian Open, but she reached her first WTA doubles final at the Melbourne Summer Set 2 with Mayar Sherif, followed by another doubles final the following week at the Adelaide International 2 with Markéta Vondroušová, losing both in three sets. Martincová made her top 100 debut in doubles, after reaching the second round of the Australian Open with Vondroušová.
Partnering Marta Kostyuk, Martincová won the doubles title at the 2022 Zavarovalnica Sava Portorož, defeating Tereza Mihalíková and Cristina Bucșa in the final.

### 2023: Drop in results

After two successful years, she made significant drop during the 2023 season. She started with three first-round losses at the Australian Tour - Auckland Classic, Hobart International and Australian Open, respectively. No progress at the following tournaments such as not passing qualifying at the WTA 1000 Qatar Ladies & Indian Wells Open. She then recorded her first year tour-level win at the Miami Open where she defeated Tamara Korpatsch, before losing to Beatriz Haddad Maia. Both matches were played in the three sets.
Due to weak tour level performances, she was forced to also play some ITF tournaments. As her preparation for the following clay season, she played at the $80k Zaragoza tournament, where she was advanced to the final. Despite losing to Viktoriya Tomova in the final, it was her first significant result of the year. Still, she continued to struggle with results, since she was eliminated in the qualifying of the Madrid Open, reaching only first round of the Italian Open and losing in the first round of the French Open. During the grass-court season, she recorded her second tour win of the year at the Birmingham Classic. After a first-round loss at Wimbledon, she started with some better results when she reached semifinals of the WTA Challenger at Contrexéville, France. She followed this up with the second round of the Warsaw Open, quarterfinals at the Prague Open, and another quarterfinal at the WTA Challenger Polish Open.

### 2024

Martincová qualified for the ATX Open but lost in the first round to second seed Sloane Stephens in straight sets.
