Insights

One semifinal, and it came at Roland Garros in 1999

Meligeni’s only Grand Slam semifinal is the standout peak in his record. It came at the 1999 French Open, where he reached S, while his other best results were two R16 finishes and three R32 finishes.

French Open was clearly his strongest major

Across the data, his best French Open run is the only semifinal, and he also reached R16 in 1998 and R32 in 1995 and 2001. By contrast, his Australian Open and Wimbledon results never went beyond R64.

His best stretch came between ages 26 and 30

The deepest results cluster in his late twenties and around age 30: the 1997 US Open R32 at 26, the 1998 French Open R16 at 27, the 1999 French Open semifinal at 28, and the 2001 French Open R32 at 30.

He was a regular major entrant, but wins were limited

Meligeni played 33 Grand Slam tournaments and 58 matches, finishing with a 25-33 record. That means he won 43% of his matches, with most appearances ending in the opening round or the round of 64.

His career ended with a sharp drop-off after 2001

After reaching R32 at the 2001 French Open and R64 at Wimbledon and the US Open that year, his final four Slam appearances were all first-round exits or equivalent: three R128s in 2002 and another R128 at the 2003 Australian Open.
