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. 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. 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. 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.

2024: Second career doubles title 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.

Brazil then went to lose against Australia and was knocked back to the zonal group.

2026 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).

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.

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.

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.

In April 2026, Martins recorded her first victory of the season at the WTA 125 Saint-Malo tournament in France.

They were subsequently clearly eliminated by Magali Kempen and Andreja Klepač.
