In 2016, he qualified for two consecutive Grand Slams for the first time in his career at the2016 Australian Open and at the2016 French Open. He reached the second round in both Grand Slams, beatingJozef Kovalík on the hard courts of the first major of the season, and achieving his first and only victory against a top player, defeating 10th seedMarin Čilić, on the Parisian clay. Between January and May, more precisely during March 2016, he achieved his only entry into a Masters 1000, also via the qualifying stage, in2016 BNP Paribas Open.
At the2018 French Open Trungelliti drove for 10 hours from Barcelona to Paris to be a late replacement for the injuredNick Kyrgios who had been due to face his compatriotBernard Tomic. He only arrived to sign in shortly before midnight, and the match was scheduled first on court the following morning. Despite this Trungelliti defeated Tomic in four sets to make the second round at Roland Garros. He had been joined in his car journey by his mother and 89-year-old grandmother who had happened to have been visiting from Argentina at the time.[2][3] He lost toMarco Cecchinato in the second round.[4]

He became the only Argentine to qualify at the All England Club and the only South American to qualify at the US Open in 2021.[5] The Argentine saved six match points to defeat American Aleksander Kovacevic in the final round ofqualifying at the US Open,[6] to make just his eight main draw appearance at a Major.[7] He defeated 29th seedAlejandro Davidovich Fokina in the first round to reach the second round for the first time at this Major before losing to fellow ArgentineFacundo Bagnis.
Trungelliti was contacted by match-fixers in 2015 who told him that players could earn from a few thousand dollars for fixing a Futures level match up-to $50,000 to $100,000 for fixing an ATP level event. Trungelliti reported the event to theTennis Integrity Unit (TIU) and the subsequent investigation which finished in 2017 led to bans for three Argentine players.[10][11][12][13][14]
