Robby Ginepri

Insights

One semifinal, and it came at the US Open

Ginepri’s best Grand Slam result was a single semifinal, and it came at the 2005 US Open at age 22. His other top runs were four round-of-16 finishes, showing that his peak was concentrated in one major breakthrough.

US Open was clearly his strongest major

Across 11 US Open appearances, he reached the second week or better five times: R64 in 2001 and 2009, R32 in 2003 and 2006, R16 in 2004, and the semifinal in 2005. No other Slam produced anything close to that level of repeated success.

Australian Open and French Open both peaked at the round of 16

His best Australian Open result was R16 in 2004, and his best French Open result was also R16 in 2008 and 2010. That leaves Wimbledon as the outlier, where his best showing was only R16 in 2004 and otherwise he was usually out by R128.

His strongest stretch was 2004-2005

In 2004 he posted two round-of-16 finishes, at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, then improved to a semifinal at the 2005 US Open. Those two seasons account for his highest ceiling and most consistent deep-run period.

Late-career results were mostly early exits

From 2008 through his final appearance in 2014, he reached the round of 16 only twice, both at the French Open, and otherwise was eliminated in R64 or R128. His last three Slam results were R128, R128, and R128.
