Insights
Perfect conversion in a two-event Slam career
Asbóth’s Grand Slam record contains only 13 matches, yet it produced two deep runs: one title and one semifinal. That means every listed Slam appearance ended with either a championship or a semifinal finish.
French Open title came at age 29
His best result was the 1947 French Open, where he is listed as champion at age 29. It is the only title shown in the data and the earliest of his two recorded Slam results.
Wimbledon semifinal followed one year later
The other result is a 1948 Wimbledon semifinal at age 30. The sequence shows a one-year gap between his title run and his next recorded Slam appearance, with both results coming in consecutive seasons.
Short Grand Slam span, confined to 1947-1948
His entire Grand Slam career is limited to 1947-1948. Across that two-year span, the data records just two tournaments, making his Slam résumé unusually compact.
Best results split across two different stages
The statistics table lists one champion and one semifinalist, and the results table matches that split exactly. That combination indicates his peak came once at the highest level and once just one round earlier, with no other Slam finishes shown.
