Nuria Llagostera-Vives

Insights

Her peak came early and was modest by Slam standards

Nuria Llagostera-Vives’ best Grand Slam result was the round of 16, reached once at the 2005 French Open at age 25. Her next-best finishes were three round-of-32 runs and three round-of-64 runs, showing a career that peaked without breaking through to the later rounds.

Clay was clearly her strongest Slam surface

Her only round-of-16 appearance came at Roland Garros, and her other French Open results include a round of 32 in 2001 and a round of 64 in 2007. Across the rest of her Slam record, she never advanced beyond the round of 64.

She was most productive in the middle of her career

From 2001 through 2005, she produced all of her best results: two round-of-32 finishes, two round-of-64 finishes, and the lone round-of-16. After 2005, her results were almost entirely first-round exits, with only one round of 32 in 2011.

Her late-career Slam record was dominated by first-round losses

In 2008, 2009, and 2010 she went 0-10 in Grand Slam matches, with every result listed as round of 128. That run contrasts sharply with her earlier years, when she regularly reached at least the second round.

She played 27 Slam tournaments but only 39 matches

Across 27 Grand Slam tournaments, she compiled a 12-27 record in 39 matches, which means she averaged fewer than 1.5 matches per Slam event. The data also shows she completed only one tournament run beyond the round of 64.
