Ray Keldie

Insights

Best run came in the Amateur Era

His strongest Grand Slam result was a round of 16 at the 1968 Australian Open, and it is the only result listed from the Amateur Era. Every Open Era appearance fell short of that level, topping out at the round of 32.

Peak Open Era result was reached only once

In the Open Era, Keldie’s best finish was the round of 32, achieved once at Wimbledon in 1973. His other Open Era results were mostly earlier exits: five round-of-64 finishes and nine round-of-128 finishes.

1970 was his busiest Slam season

He played four Grand Slam tournaments in 1970, more than any other year in the data. That season produced his best Open Era spread as well: round of 32 at the Australian Open, round of 64 at the US Open, and round of 128 at both Wimbledon and the French Open.

His results clustered in the early Open Era

From 1968 through 1970, he recorded his only round-of-16 and both round-of-32 finishes, plus three round-of-64 results. After 1970, his results were limited to one round of 32, two round of 64s, and three round of 128s.

Career ended with a short late stretch

His Grand Slam career spans 1968 to 1975, but the final two listed seasons were sparse: only two tournaments in 1974 and one in 1975. Those last three appearances all ended before the round of 32.
