He is engaged to Nelly Petrová; he proposed after Slovakia won the Hopman Cup on January 10, 2009 (with Dominika Cibulková). He also won the tournament for Slovakia in 2005 with Daniela Hantuchová. This makes Hrbatý a dual winner to move into the company of Serena Williams, James Blake, Tommy Robredo and Arantxa Sánchez Vicario.
In 1997, Hrbatý won the Košice Challenger title defeating Nicolás Lapentti. He also reached his first ATP Tour final in Palermo, losing to Alberto Berasategui. His first doubles success on the Tour was reaching the final of Umag with Karol Kučera.
Hrbatý broke through for his first ATP title in 1998 in San Marino and defended his title in Košice. He continued his form into 1999 capturing his second title in Prague. His greatest breakthrough was reaching the semi-finals of Roland Garros where he defeated Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Marcelo Ríos before falling to eventual winner, Andre Agassi.
Despite not winning a title in 2000, Hrbatý reached three finals in Monte Carlo, St. Petersburg and Brighton. During the year he helped Slovakia win the ATP World Team Championship where he had wins over Pete Sampras and Kafelnikov. While not winning a title in singles, he won the Rome Masters doubles title with Martin Damm and reached another three finals.
2001 got off to a quick start for Hrbatý, winning in Auckland for his third ATP title. Backed up that win with a quarter-finals appearance at the Australian Open. On his way he defeated number two seed, Marat Safin. Other notable singles results were reaching the semi-finals in Dubai, Tashkent and Moscow. Hrbatý helped Slovakia back into the World Group stage in Davis Cup by defeating Nicolás Massú and Rios in 5 sets coming from 2 sets down in each match.
Hrbatý had an average year in 2002 where he finished out of the top 50 for the first time since 1996. He won a Challenger title in Biella. In 2003, Hrbatý made the final in Auckland losing to Gustavo Kuerten. Also made the semi-finals in Casablanca and Umag. Defeated Andy Roddick in the Davis Cup to ended the American's 19 match winning streak.
Hrbatý best season in his career to date was in 2004. Started the season with back to back title wins in Auckland and Adelaide. Auckland victory was over Rafael Nadal in the final. One of only two players to have a winning career record over Nadal. Then won his sixth career title in Marseille and then made it to the final in Casablanca. Achieved his one of his best wins by defeating World No. 1 Roger Federer in Cincinnati and then made it to the quarter-finals of the US Open.
In 2005, Hrbatý finished in the top 20 despite not reaching a singles final. His best results were semi-finals in Los Angeles, Metz and Basel. He had good success in the ATP Masters Series in Miami, Rome and Montreal where he reached the quarter-finals.
Also in 2005, Hrbatý helped Slovakia reach the Davis Cup final against Croatia. He compiled a 6-1 singles record during the season. Inflicted Ivan Ljubičić's only singles loss in the final but Slovakia lost the final 2-3.
2006 was mixed year for Hrbatý. Reached his second Tennis Masters Series title final in Paris losing to Nikolay Davydenko. This helped him finish in the top 25 in the year end rankings. Other results were semi-finals in Los Angeles and Vienna and a quarter-finals in Beijing.
Hrbatý's form started to drop in 2007. He was plagued by an elbow injury which severely limited his play in the season.
At the 2007 U.S. Open, in doubles, he lost to Jesse Levine and Alex Kuznetsov, while pairing with Harel Levy of Israel, 6–1, 6–4.
At the 2008 Wimbledon Championships, Hrbatý lost to his good friend and former doubles partner Roger Federer in the first round 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Hrbatý sat immediately next to Federer and had an amicable conversation with him during the last changeover of the match, telling Federer that this may be Hrbatý's last Wimbledon and that, as a joke, this has been the first victory for Federer in a match against him.
In 2010, Hrbaty announced his retirement as he became a father for the first time.
