Career
[edit]2015: WTA Tour debut in doubles
[edit]Martins made her main-draw debut on the WTA Tour at the 2015 Rio Open, in the doubles event, partnering Carolina Alves.[citation needed]
2022: Top 100 in doubles
[edit]She first entered the world top 100 in doubles in December 2022.[4] Partnering Luisa Stefani, Martins won her first WTA 125 doubles title at the Montevideo Open, defeating Quinn Gleason and Elixane Lechemia in the final.[5]
2023: First career title – major, WTA 1000 & top 50 debuts
[edit]Martins won her first WTA Tour-level trophy in Bad Homburg on grass courts with Belarusian Lidziya Marozava.[6] She entered the world top 60 at No. 58 in doubles for the first time on 3 July 2023.[7][8]

Martins made her major debut at the 2023 French Open, partnering with Iryna Shymanovich as alternate pair, and recorded her first win over Irina-Camelia Begu and Anhelina Kalinina.[9] She made her WTA 1000 debut at the Canadian Open, also playing with Marozava. She reached the semifinals with compatriot Luisa Stefani at the WTA 1000 China Open, defeating en route second seeds Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula and eighth seeds Laura Siegemund and Vera Zvonareva. With this, she entered the top 50 in doubles for the first time.[10][11]
In November, Martins played alongside Luisa Stefani in the final match of the four-rubber tie between Team Brazil and South Korea in Brasília, part of the play-offs for the Billie Jean King Cup. Stefani was originally set to pair with Beatriz Haddad Maia, but due to strategic changes, she teamed up with Martins instead. Martins and Stefani faced the South Korean duo of Back Da-yeon and Jeong Bo-young, winning the match in straight sets. It was Martin’s debut match representing Brazil in the BJK Cup.[12] Brazil won the tie without dropping a single match.
In the following weeks, Martins competed in a series of WTA 125 tournaments across South America. In the first, she traveled to Chile for the Colina tournament in the Santiago metropolitan region, but was eliminated in the first round, partnering with fellow Brazilian Laura Pigossi.[13] She then played the inaugural edition of the WTA 125 Florianópolis, which marked the return of WTA tournaments to Brazil after a seven-year absence. Martins was again eliminated in the opening round of the doubles draw, once more playing alongside Pigossi.[14] Following this, she ended her season.
In December, one of Ingrid’s shots from the 2023 season was nominated for the WTA’s Shot of the Year, which is decided by fan voting. The point in question occurred during the first round of the Bad Homburg Open, in which Martins, playing alongside Lidziya Marozava, faced Alexandra Panova and Ulrikke Eikeri. However, the shot did not win the vote.[15]
2024: Second career doubles title
[edit]Partnering with Quinn Gleason, Martins ended runner-up at the WTA 125 Barranquilla Open in August, losing to Jessica Failla and Hiroko Kuwata in the final.[16]
The following month the pair won the doubles title at the WTA 125 Montreux Ladies Open, defeating María Lourdes Carlé and Simona Waltert in the final which went to a deciding champions tiebreak.[17]
In November, Gleason and Martins claimed the Mérida Open doubles title with a straight sets win over Magali Kempen and Lara Salden in the final. It was the second title on the WTA Tour-level for Martins.[18]
2025: Two WTA 125 doubles titles
[edit]Martins and Gleason continued their success in 2025, winning two WTA 125 doubles titles, one in June in the city of Grado[19] and the other at the city of Contrexéville in July.[20]
They were also runners-up in another WTA 125, the Open delle Puglie in June. [21]
In September, Martins participated in the first edition of the SP Open, a WTA 250 in São Paulo. Playing alongside Laura Pigossi, she was runner-up, losing in three sets against compatriot Luisa Stefani and Hungarian Timea Babos in the final.[22][23]
Again partnering with Pigossi, Martins went to play at two WTA 125 tournaments in Brazil in the month of October, first at the first edition of Martins' hometown tournament Rio Ladies Open. Martins and Pigossi reached the semifinals but were defeated by Leyre Romero Gormaz and Tara Würth, in straight sets.
In the next week they played at the 2025 MundoTenis Open in Florianópolis, where they lost in the second round in three sets to Irene Burillo and Ekaterine Gorgodze.
In November, Martins joined the Brazil Billie Jean King Cup team, the Time Brasil BRB, to play at the playoffs of the Billie Jean King Cup against Portugal and Australia, in the hardcourt of the Australian city of Hobart. Martins played in the final match of the tie against Portugal alongside Luisa Stefani. They faced Ines Murta and Angelina Voloshchuk, securing a three set win to help Brazil finish the tie with only wins. [24] Brazil then went to lose against Australia and was knocked back to the zonal group.[25]
2026
[edit]At the 2026 Auckland Open, Martins and Pigossi competed in the doubles event. The Brazilian pair lost in the opening round to Isabelle Haverlag and Maia Lumsden in a close match. Martins and Pigossi held a match point during the deciding match tiebreak before their opponents secured victory (12–10).[26]
At the 2026 Australian Open, Martins partnered Filipino player Alexandra Eala in the women's doubles event. The pair were defeated in the first round by the team of Shuko Aoyama and Magda Linette. Martins and Eala had led the opening set 4–0 before their opponents recovered to win the set in a tiebreak. Despite forcing a deciding set by winning the second set, they were unable to advance further in the tournament.[27]
Following her appearance at the Australian Open, Martins was sidelined for several months due to a grade-2 calf injury. She returned to competition in June at the WTA 125 Antalya tournament in Turkey, partnering Greek player Despina Papamichail in the doubles event. The pair were defeated in the first round by Irina Khromacheva and Ksenia Zaytseva, in straight sets.[28]
Martins had initially been entered in a second tournament in Antalya the following week, but chose to leave Turkey amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. In a statement published on social media, she announced her decision to return to Brazil, citing concerns for her safety and health.[28]
At the 2026 Copa Colsanitas, Martins partnered Emily Appleton in the doubles event. They were defeated in the opening round by Emiliana Arango and Panna Udvardy in a match tiebreak, 5–7, 7–5, [7–10].[29]
In April 2026, Martins recorded her first victory of the season at the WTA 125 Saint-Malo tournament in France. Partnering Russian player Ekaterina Ovcharenko, she defeated Elixane Lechemia and Alicia Barnett in the opening round of the doubles competition, 7–5, 3–6, [12–10], advancing to the quarterfinals.[30]

In May 2026, Martins finished runner-up in the doubles event at the W75 Open Saint-Gaudens in France, partnering Ekaterina Ovcharenko. The duo advanced to the final, before falling to Lisa Zaar and Caijsa Wilda in three sets. As a result, Martins moved up to world No. 82 in the WTA doubles rankings.[32]
At the 2026 French Open, Martins partnered Argentine Solana Sierra in the doubles competition. The pair defeated Harriet Dart and Alexandra Panova in straight sets to advance to the second round. The victory marked Martins' first main-draw win at Roland Garros and equaled her best result at the tournament, having also reached the second round in 2023 with Irina Shymanovich.[33]
They were subsequently clearly eliminated by Magali Kempen and Andreja Klepač.[34]
In June 2026, Martins was named to the University of South Carolina Athletics Hall of Fame as a member of its 2026 induction class.
