Iván Molina

Insights

French Open was his most frequent Slam stop

Iván Molina appeared at the French Open 11 times, far more than at any other major in the data. His French Open results account for 11 of his 23 tournaments and include both of his best finishes there, reaching R64 in 1978 and 1973.

His only second-week-equivalent runs came at Wimbledon and the US Open

Molina’s best Grand Slam result was R64, achieved five times: twice at Wimbledon and three times at the US Open. He never advanced beyond R64 in any of the 28 matches listed, so all five wins came before the round of 64.

He was most active in the mid-1970s

The busiest stretch in the table is 1973-1976, when he played 13 of his 23 tournaments. That four-year span includes his only seasons with three Slam appearances in a year: 1973, 1974, 1975, and 1976.

His Grand Slam career stretched from age 21 to 33

The first listed result is the 1968 French Open at age 21, and the last is the 1980 French Open at age 33. That gives him a 13-year span between first and last recorded Slam appearances, with no results listed for 1970.

His record was heavily front-loaded with losses

Molina finished 5-23 overall, and the table shows only five wins across 23 tournaments. He reached R64 in 1969, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, and 1978, but every other appearance ended in R128.
