Three Slam semifinals, all before age 30

Gasquet’s best Grand Slam results are three semifinal runs, and every one came at age 21 or younger? No: the data show semifinals in 2007 Wimbledon at 21, 2013 US Open at 27, and 2015 Wimbledon at 29. That spread marks his peak as unusually prolonged.

Wimbledon and the US Open produced his deepest runs

His only semifinal appearances came twice at Wimbledon and once at the US Open, while his two quarterfinals were also split between those same events: 2016 French Open is a quarterfinal? No, the table shows quarterfinals only in 2015 US Open and 2016 French Open. His deepest results were therefore not confined to one surface or one Slam.

Late-career decline is visible after 2020

From 2020 through 2025, he never advanced beyond the third round: R128 at the 2020 French Open, R64 at the 2020 US Open, then mostly R128 or R64 finishes through 2025. That is a clear drop from the 2012-2016 stretch, when he repeatedly reached at least the fourth round.

His most productive Slam stretch came in his mid-to-late 20s

Between 2012 and 2016, Gasquet reached at least the round of 16 in 13 of 17 Slam appearances, including the 2013 US Open semifinal, the 2015 Wimbledon semifinal, and the 2016 French Open quarterfinal. This was the most concentrated high-level run in the dataset.

French Open was his most frequent event, but not his best one

He played the French Open 19 times, more than any other Slam in the table, yet his best French Open result was only a quarterfinal in 2016. By contrast, he reached semifinals at Wimbledon twice and once at the US Open despite fewer appearances there.
