Insights

Two quarterfinal runs define his peak

Tipsarević’s best Grand Slam results were two quarterfinals, both reached in 2012 and 2013. Those are the only finishes above the round of 16 in his 51-tournament career.

2012-13 was his clear high-water mark

Across 2012 and 2013 he produced his strongest stretch: a quarterfinal at the 2012 US Open, a round of 16 at the 2012 French Open, another quarterfinal at the 2013 US Open, and a round of 16 at the 2013 Australian Open. In those two seasons he reached at least the round of 32 in all eight Slam appearances.

His career was heavily weighted toward later years

He played Grand Slam tennis in 2003-2013, then again in 2015-2017 and 2019, with no results listed for 2014 or 2018. The late-career return produced only one round of 64 finish, at Wimbledon in 2019, and otherwise ended in the first two rounds.

Wimbledon was his most productive major

Wimbledon supplied his deepest run, a round of 16 in 2007 and 2008, plus a round of 32 in 2005 and a round of 64 in 2009. By contrast, his Australian Open and French Open peaks stopped at the round of 16 and round of 32 respectively.

He finished exactly at break-even overall

His Grand Slam record is listed as 52-51 across 103 matches, a 50% win rate. That balance is unusual alongside a career that still includes nine round-of-32 finishes, five round-of-16 finishes, and two quarterfinals.
