The Spanish star started the season by taking part in the Maharashtra Open. He defeated Ramkumar Ramanathan and 4th seed Sebastian Baez to reach the quarterfinals. Aslan Karatsev stopped his run in the quarterfinals with a solid performance.

In the Australian Open, Martinez faced a tough opponent in Hubert Hurkacz in the first round. The 10th-seeded Hurkacz made light work of Martinez and won the match 7-6 (7-1), 6-2, 6-2. Martinez also played in the doubles event alongside Thiago Monteiro but lost in the first round to the South African duo of Raven Klaasen and Lloyd Harris.

The 26-year-old began 2023 by competing in a Challenger event in Noumea. Garin entered the tournament as the top seed and defeated Jake Delaney, Thomas Fancutt, and Facundo Diaz Acosta before losing to Raul Brancaccio in the quarterfinals.
