In March, ranked No. 874 in the world, he received a wildcard entry into the 2021 BSI Challenger Lugano, Switzerland. He won the tournament, defeating Vitaliy Sachko in straight sets in the final. He became the 3rd youngest Swiss player after Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka to win an ATP Challenger title.[7] Following this successful run, he made his top 500 debut in singles.

In May, Stricker made his ATP debut at the 2021 Geneva Open as a wildcard where he beat former US Open champion and former ATP ranked number 3 Marin Čilić in the first round for his first ATP victory.[8] He then defeated Márton Fucsovics to reach his first ATP tour level quarterfinal.[9] He reached a career-high of World No. 334 in singles on 24 May 2021.

In June at the 2021 MercedesCup in Stuttgart he reached again the quarterfinals where he defeated second seed Hubert Hurkacz for his first top-20 win of the season. As a result, he moved into the top 300 at No. 289 on 14 June 2021.[10]

He won his maiden ATP doubles title at the 2021 Swiss Open Gstaad, partnering Marc-Andrea Hüsler, defeating Polish pair Szymon Walków and Jan Zieliński.

In September, partnering also Marc-Andrea Hüsler, he reached the final of the 2021 Challenger Biel/Bienne, Switzerland but withdrew. As a result, he reached a new career-high doubles ranking of World No. 196 on 27 September 2021. He also reached the semifinals in singles, resulting in a new career-high singles ranking of World No. 269 on 4 October 2021.

### 2022: Top 125 debut in singles[edit]

He reached the top 200 at World No. 164 on 7 February 2022 after winning his second ATP Challenger title at the 2022 Cleveland Open. After reaching his third Challenger final and second title of the season at the 2022 Zug Open in Switzerland, he moved into the top 150.

In October, at the 2022 European Open in Antwerp, he defeated seventh seed Botic van de Zandschulp in straight sets in the first round as a qualifier.[11] The following week, at the 2022 Swiss Indoors, he also reached the second round as a wildcard defeating Maxime Cressy[12] improving his chances to qualify for the 2022 Next Generation ATP Finals.[13] He qualified for the 2022 Next Generation ATP Finals on 27 October 2022 and reached the semifinals undefeated beating top seed Lorenzo Musetti en route in a five set thriller lasting close to two hours and a half.[14][15]

At the 2023 Australian Open he reached the third round of qualifying.[16][17]

In May, he won his fifth Challenger at the Prague Open becoming the only Swiss player to win five Challenger titles before his 21st birthday.[18]

Ranked No. 116, he made his Grand Slam main draw debut at the 2023 French Open after entering the draw as lucky loser. He won his first Major match at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships defeating Alexei Popyrin in five sets after qualifying for the main draw. He won his second doubles title at the 2023 Swiss Open Gstaad as a wildcard pair partnering Stan Wawrinka, defeating the pair Marcelo Demoliner and Matwé Middelkoop.

Ranked No. 128, he reached the fourth round of a Major at the US Open after qualifying[19] and defeating again Alexei Popyrin, upsetting seventh seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in five sets[20] and Benjamin Bonzi also in five. As a result, he reached the top 100 at world No. 90 on 11 September 2023, becoming the youngest Swiss to reach the milestone since 20-year-old Stan Wawrinka did so in 2005.[21][22] He entered the 2023 Swiss Indoors as a wildcard and reached the quarterfinals defeating qualifier Benjamin Hassan and second seed Casper Ruud, his second top-10 win.[23] In November, he qualified again for the 2023 Next Generation ATP Finals[24] and again reached the semifinals.
