Macháč did exactly the same thing at the next 2021 Australian Open Grand Slam losing just 14 games to qualify where he defeated Mario Vilella Martínez before losing in the second round to world No. 10 Matteo Berrettini in four sets.

He made his ATP debut at the 2021 Murray River Open with direct entry into main draw, losing in the first round to James Duckworth.

In March, Macháč won his second ATP Challenger singles title at the 2021 Nur-Sultan Challenger II.[2] As a result he entered the top 150 at career-high of No. 137 on 8 March 2021.

He qualified to represent Czechia at the 2020 Summer Olympics where he reached the second round by defeating João Sousa.
