Lisa Raymond

Insights

Career built on consistency rather than deep runs

Across 56 Grand Slam tournaments, Lisa Raymond played 124 matches and finished 68-56, a 55% win rate. Her best results were only two quarterfinals, with six round-of-16 finishes and 12 round-of-32 finishes, showing repeated midweek presence but limited late-stage breakthroughs.

2002-2004 was her strongest three-year stretch

From 2002 through 2004, she reached at least the round of 32 in 10 of 12 Slam appearances, including a quarterfinal at the 2004 Australian Open and a round of 16 at Wimbledon in 2002. That run stands out as her most sustained period of high-level results.

Wimbledon produced her deepest and most frequent advances

Her two quarterfinals came at Wimbledon in 2000 and the Australian Open in 2004, but Wimbledon also gave her six results of R16 or better, including R16 finishes in 1993, 1995, 1999, and 2002. By contrast, the French Open never took her beyond the round of 64 except for one R16 in 1997.

Her best Slam results clustered in her mid-to-late 20s

Raymond’s strongest Grand Slam outcomes arrived mostly between ages 23 and 30, with quarterfinals at age 26 and 30 and multiple R16 runs in that span. After age 31, her results trended downward, with no finish better than the round of 32 from 2005 onward.

She was still competing at 33, but the final phase was brief

Her Grand Slam career spans 1989-1990 and 1992-2006, and her last recorded appearance was the 2006 US Open at age 33. In her final two seasons, she never advanced past the round of 64, ending with four straight first- or second-round exits in 2006.
