Olivier Rochus

Insights

Three second-week runs, all before age 24

Rochus reached the round of 16 three times: Wimbledon 2003, Australian Open 2005, and US Open 2004. Each came at age 23 or younger, and no later result matched that level.

2006 was his peak Slam season by depth

He made the round of 32 at all four majors in 2006, his only season with four results at that stage. That year also produced his highest tournament count of deep runs in a single Slam season.

Best results were concentrated in the middle of his career

His 36-48 Grand Slam record includes 11 round-of-64 exits, 8 round-of-32 exits, and 3 round-of-16 finishes. The strongest stretch sits between 2003 and 2006, when all three of his best-ever runs were recorded.

Late-career decline was abrupt after 2009

After reaching the round of 64 at the 2009 US Open, every listed Slam result from 2010 through 2013 ended in the first round. That span includes 11 straight R128 exits across four seasons.

Wimbledon and the Australian Open produced his best variety

Wimbledon supplied one R16, one R32, two R64s, and multiple R128s, while the Australian Open produced one R16, one R32, two R64s, and several R128s. Those two events account for all three of his round-of-16 results.
