Jiri Vanek

Insights

Two brief peaks, but no deeper run than the third round

Vanek’s best Grand Slam results were five R64 finishes and 19 R128 exits across 24 tournaments. He reached R64 only twice in 2000 and twice in 2008, with his lone other R64 coming at the 2006 French Open.

His strongest Slam season was 2008

In 2008 he produced his only season with multiple match wins at majors: R64 at the French Open and US Open, plus R128 at Wimbledon and the Australian Open. That year accounts for two of his five career wins.

Clay was his most productive surface in the data

All three of his R64 results on clay came at the French Open, in 2000, 2006, and 2008. By contrast, his Australian Open and US Open records are mostly R128, with only one R64 outside Paris.

His Grand Slam career was split into two distinct stretches

The data shows appearances from 2000-2003, then again from 2005-2009, with no Slam results listed for 2004. That gap separates an early four-year run from a later five-year return.

He was already 31 in his final Slam appearance

Vanek’s last recorded Grand Slam match was the 2009 French Open, where he lost in R128 at age 31. His earliest listed Slam result came at age 21 in the 2000 Australian Open, showing a 10-year span in the table.
