On 6 April 2026, Trungelliti reached a career-high singles ranking of world No. 76 and became the second-oldest man (since 1973) in the Open Era, at age 36, to debut in the top 100 in the ATP rankings, after reaching the final in Marrakech. He also reached a best doubles ranking of No. 174 on 1 April 2013.

Trungelliti has reached 34 career singles finals with a record of 15 wins and 19 losses which includes a 6–11 record in ATP Challenger Tour finals. In addition, he has reached 13 doubles finals with a record of 7 wins and 6 losses which included a 3–3 record in ATP Challenger Tour finals.

Trungelliti made his ATP Tour debut at the 2012 Croatian Open where he advanced through the 3 qualifying rounds by defeating Juan-Martín Aranguren, Jose Anton Salazar Martin and Adrián Menéndez Maceiras to make his first appearance in a main draw. In the first round, he would go on to defeat Paolo Lorenzi before losing in the second round to Carlos Berlocq 6–7(4).

In 2016, he qualified for two consecutive Grand Slams for the first time in his career at the 2016 Australian Open and at the 2016 French Open. He reached the second round in both Grand Slams, beating Jozef Kovalík on the hardcourts of the first major of the season, and achieving his first and only victory against a top player, defeating 10th seed Marin Čilić, on the Parisian clay at Roland Garros. In March, he also reached his first Masters 1000 main draw, via the qualifying stage, in Indian Wells.

At the 2018 French Open Trungelliti drove for 10 hours from Barcelona to Paris to be a late replacement for the injured Nick Kyrgios who had been due to face his compatriot Bernard 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. He lost to Marco Cecchinato in the second round. In July, he reached his first ATP Tour semifinal at the Croatia Open.

Between June 2021 and January 2022, he qualified for three consecutive Grand Slams for the first time in his career at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships, the 2021 US Open and at the 2022 Australian Open. 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. The Argentine saved six match points to defeat American Aleksander Kovacevic in the final round of qualifying at the US Open, to make just his eight main draw appearance at a Major. He defeated 29th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the first round to reach the second round for the first time at this Major before losing to fellow Argentine Facundo Bagnis. At the 2022 Australian Open he qualified again but lost in the first round in a five set match against Frances Tiafoe. Ranked No. 197, he qualified for the ATP 500 2024 Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell and reached the round of 16, defeating qualifier Duje Ajduković and upsetting ninth seed Nicolás Jarry.

Aged 36 years and 62 days old, Trungelliti became the second-oldest man in the Open Era, since Torben Ulrich in 1973, to debut in the top 100 in the singles ATP rankings after reaching the semifinals in Marrakech as a qualifier. Trungelliti also tied Andreas Vinciguerra for the longest gap between semifinal appearances on the ATP Tour, 402 weeks after reaching his first at tour level in Umag, Croatia in 2018. By reaching the final in Marrakech, with a win over top seed and defending champion Luciano Darderi, Trungelliti also became the oldest man to make his first career ATP Tour final in the Open Era.

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 the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) and the subsequent investigation which finished in 2017 led to bans for Argentine players Patricio Heras, Federico Coria, and Nicolás Kicker. Following his testimony, Trungelliti was forced to leave Argentina permanently for the safety of himself and his family after receiving threats.
