2021: ATP debut, top 250 and Olympics singles and doubles debut

Klein made his ATP main draw singles debut in March 2021 at the 2021 Argentina Open in Argentina, where he defeated Andrea Collarini, Thiago Seyboth Wild and Ernesto Escobedo to qualify for the main draw. Klein then went on to upset compatriot Andrej Martin in the first round defeating him 7–5, 6–3. He would go on to lose in the second round to top seed, local favourite and eventual champion Diego Schwartzman in straight sets 4–6, 2–6.[3] He reached the top 250 and a career-high of World No. 248 in singles on 28 June 2021 after reaching the second round also as a qualifier at the 2021 Mallorca Championships by defeating 8th seed Dušan Lajović.

At the Olympics, Klein was entered as an alternate for Matteo Berrettini, who had withdrawn due to a thigh injury.[4][5] He also participated in the doubles event partnering Filip Polášek where they reached the second round.
