Career

Marten was a doubles quarter-finalist at the 1975 Australian Open, with partner Rolf Gehring.[2]

In 1977 he had wins over both Robin Drysdale and American Mark Meyers to make the round of 16 at the South Australian Men's Tennis Classic.[2]

He came from two sets down to defeat Cliff Letcher at the 1979 Australian Open, 8-6 in the fifth.[2] It was one of five times that he would make the second round of a Grand Slam singles draw, but he was unable to go further.[2]

Marten made an appearance in 1979 for the West Germany Davis Cup team, in a tie against Romania. He featured in the doubles rubber, with Jürgen Fassbender, which they lost, to Gavorielle-Traian Marcu and Ilie Năstase.[3]

In 1980 he reached the singles quarter-finals at the Stuttgart Outdoor tournament, beating Patrice Dominguez and Ulrich Pinner.[2]
