He was Austria's most successful doubles player in history by reaching world no. 6 in the ATP doubles rankings in January 2008, before being matched by Jürgen Melzer, who reached no. 6 in September 2010, and overtaken by Alexander Peya, who reached no. 3 in August 2013.

In 2005, he reached the quarterfinals in his last appearance in a singles tournament in the Graz Challenger.

Georg von Metaxa in doubles in 1938, the only Austrian to reach the final at Wimbledon before the tournament, where he also lost.
Knowle joined Czech Petr Pála for several months but was unable to continue his lucrative association with Zimonji in 2005. Jürgen Melzer, a fellow Austrian player and left-hander, joined him in a team with him in 2005 and 2006. They have won two tournaments in doubles and also reached another five finals together.
Knowle found a new partner in Sweden's Simon Aspelin.
Knowle won the tournament for the first time in his career, seeded tenth with Aspelin. They triumphed over Kubot/Skoch in the first two rounds and had a walkover over Calleri/Horna. Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram (who would go on to win the 2008 Australian Open men's doubles) were able to knock eighth seeds Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram (who would go on to win the third round). They shocked top seed Bob and Mike Bryan, who had only lost to them a few weeks before. They beat unseeded Julien Benneteau and Nicolas Mahut 7–6(2), 6–3, 5–3, before winning the final 7–6, 6–4, beating Pavel Vzner and Luká Dlouh. They had previously won three tournaments together. They have since risen to the no. 1 position, and they have no. Knowle received his first top-ten ranking in doubles after finishing 5th in the ATP Doubles Race.
Knowle was the second of so-far three Austrian tennis players to win a Grand Slam tournament (first in doubles). Thomas Muster, the first Austrian to win a Grand Slam tournament in 1995, was the third in the 2010 Wimbledon Doubles and later the 2011 US Open – Men's doubles with German partner Philipp Petzschner.
Knowle and Aspelin qualified as a team in the Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai, China, for the first time. They made it all the way to the final by beating Pavel Vzner and Lukár Llodra, Arnaud Clément and Michael Llodra, and then Martin Damm and Leander Paes, who then lost in straight sets to Mark Knowles and Daniel Nestor 2–6, 3–6.

Knowle joined Jürgen Melzer, a fellow Austrian, first and then occasionally working with other players from early 2009. Knowle and Melzer had little success on the tour in the first half of 2009 before advancing to the final in Vienna. They were too late in the year for them to qualify for the Masters Cup.
Knowle and Sweden's Robert Lindstedt spent the first months of the year in 2010. They advanced to the doubles final in Marseille, where they lost in straight sets. Knowle and Lindstedt parted ways on the tour, with Knowle and Ram from Israel collaborating with Andy Ram from Israel due to a lack of success on the tour together. They had their best showing at the French Open, where they surprisingly advanced to the semifinals.

Knowle was forced to halt for six weeks after a torn muscle fascicle in April ended their relationship. When a partially torn tendon prevented his participation in the French Open to protect his semifinal triumph from last year, his intended return to the tour was postponed.

He and David Marrero competed in the doubles final in Estoril, winning the Kitzbühel tournament with Cermak, his first title since Tokyo in 2009. He won Wimbledon with Daniele Bracciali and the US Open with Poláek, and did the same at the US Open with Poláek.
