Insights

Only one quarterfinal, and it came at Wimbledon in 2006

Štěpánek’s best Grand Slam result was a single quarterfinal, recorded at Wimbledon at age 27. His next-best finishes were three round-of-16 runs, so he never advanced beyond that one deep breakthrough.

His peak stretch was 2008-2009

The strongest two-year span in the table is 2008 and 2009: he reached the French Open round of 16 in 2008, then the US Open and Wimbledon round of 16 in 2009. Those four events are his only appearances at that stage or better.

He was most productive in 2003-2006

From 2003 through 2006, every season included at least one run to the round of 32 or better, culminating in the 2006 Wimbledon quarterfinal. That four-year block contains his clearest concentration of higher-end Grand Slam results.

Late-career results settled mostly at the first two rounds

From 2010 through 2017, he reached the round of 64 or better only five times: twice in 2011, once in 2013, once in 2014, and once in 2017. The rest of that span was largely first-round exits at age 31 and older.

He played 55 majors and finished just above .500

Across 55 Grand Slam tournaments and 113 matches, his record was 58-55, a 51% win rate. That balance is unusual for a career with only one quarterfinal and many early exits, showing how often he still reached multiple rounds.
