Denis Kudla

Insights

Only one second-week run, and it came at Wimbledon in 2015

Kudla’s best Grand Slam result is a single R16, recorded at Wimbledon in 2015 at age 22. Across 30 tournaments and 47 matches, that is his lone appearance beyond the third round.

His strongest Slam stretch was 2018-2021, with four straight years of at least one R64-or-better result

From 2018 through 2021, he reached at least the third round in every season listed: R64 at the 2018 Australian Open and US Open, R32 at Wimbledon 2021, and R64 at the US Open 2021. That four-year span is his most sustained run of competitive Slam results.

2022 was his clear low point: four straight first-round exits

All four of his 2022 Slam results were R128, at the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. That season produced no match wins in Grand Slams, a sharp drop from the R64 at the 2023 Australian Open.

His Grand Slam career is split into two distinct phases

The career span is listed as 2012-2016 and 2018-2023, with no Grand Slam results shown for 2017. That gap separates an early phase that included the 2015 Wimbledon R16 from a later phase that produced most of his total 17 wins.

He was most productive at Wimbledon and the US Open

Wimbledon and the US Open each appear seven times in his results, more than the Australian Open and French Open at six each. Wimbledon also contains his best finish, while the US Open includes his only other top-three-round result, the 2019 R32.
