Martins made her Grand Slam 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 2023 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 eight 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 Dayeon Back and Bo Young Jeong, winning the match in straight sets, 2–0. It was Ingrid’s debut match representing Brazil in the Billie Jean King 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 of the doubles draw, 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 Laura.[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 WTA Bad Homburg Open, in which Ingrid, playing alongside Belarusian Lidziya Marozava, faced Russia’s Alexandra Panova and Norway’s Ulrikke Eikeri. However, the shot did not win the vote.[15]

2024: Second WTA doubles title

Partnering with Quinn Gleason, Martins was 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 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

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 runner ups in another WTA 125, the Open delle Puglie in June. [21]
