Career

Marten was a doubles quarterfinalist at the 1976 Australian Open, with partner Rolf Gehring.[http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Ma/U/Ulrich-B-Marten.aspx ATP World Tour profile]

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.

He came from two sets down to defeat Cliff Letcher at the 1979 Australian Open, 8–6 in the fifth. 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.

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.[http://www.daviscup.com/en/players/player.aspx?id=800175974 Davis Cup profile]

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