Career

2022: ATP debut He made his ATP debut at the 2022 Sofia Open as a qualifier where he lost to Oscar Otte in the first round.

2023: ITF success and provisional ban Mădăraș first half of the season led him to winning a record-breaking of 10 ITF titles in one season.

However, on 17 August 2023 he was provisionally suspended from all tennis by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) after failing to comply with the anti-corruption rules.

2024: Suspension from professional tennis On 14 March 2024 the ITIA revealed the final verdict (four years and five months suspension) and the details of the incident that had led up to the ban. At the 2023 Wimbledon qualifying tournament, Mădăraș had refused to hand over a mobile telephone to ITIA investigators who wanted to examine it. Instead he gave the phone to his brother who ran away with it. It was also revealed Mădăraș had previously been under investigation for match-fixing by the ITIA in the years 2017–2020.

2025: Appeal and ban reduction In February 2025, it was announced that, following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Mădăraș' suspension had been cut to two years and ultimately ended in August of that year.
