Nao Hibino

Insights

Seven second-week appearances, all at the same stage

Hibino’s best Grand Slam result is R64, and she reached it seven times across 25 tournaments. Every other appearance ended in R128, so her Slam record is defined by a small cluster of deeper runs rather than sustained progression.

2021 was her strongest Slam season by volume of progress

In 2021 she reached R64 at three of the four majors: Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon. That is her only season with multiple R64 results, and it came after a 2020 return that already included two R64 finishes.

A long stretch of first-round exits followed her 2021 peak

After the three R64 results in 2021, Hibino’s next six Slam appearances from 2022 through 2024 all ended in R128. The sequence breaks only in 2025, when she returned to R64 at the French Open.

Her Slam career is split into two distinct phases

The data shows an initial run from 2016-2018, then a gap before resuming in 2020-. She played four Slams in each of 2016 and 2017, none in 2019, and then returned with four appearances in 2020 and 2021.

Her best results came in her mid-20s, not at the start

Hibino’s first R64 came at age 22 in 2017, but her most productive Slam year was age 26 in 2021, when she reached R64 three times. Her latest R64 came at age 30 at the 2025 French Open.
