Insights

Only one second-week appearance, and it came at 30

Soeda’s best Grand Slam result was R64, achieved four times, but only once after 2013: the 2015 Australian Open at age 30. His other R64 runs came in 2012 and twice in 2013.

2011-2015 was his entire productive Slam stretch

All four match wins came between 2012 and 2015, with no wins recorded in 2007, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2017, or 2020. That makes his Grand Slam success tightly concentrated in a five-year window.

Australian Open was his most productive major

He reached R64 three times at the Australian Open: 2007, 2013, and 2015. Across his 18 Slam tournaments, that event produced his deepest runs more often than any other major.

His Slam career was heavily front-loaded by age

Soeda’s first Slam appearance came at 22 in 2007, and his last at 35 in 2020. Yet the only years with wins were ages 27 to 30, showing that his results peaked in a narrow mid-career band.

Most of his Slam entries ended immediately

He finished R128 in 14 of 18 tournaments, compared with just four R64 finishes. That 14-to-4 split explains the 4-18 record and the modest 18% win rate.
