Martelli made the second round of two Grand Slams in 1997, at Wimbledon and the French Open.

In what would be the only Davis Cup rubber he would ever play, Martelli was defeated by Carlos Moyá, but he did manage to win the second set against the Australian Open runner-up. [3]

He lost a four set match to Andre Agassi in the opening round of the 1998 Australian Open.
