Roscoe Tanner

Insights

Peak run came in 1979

His deepest Grand Slam season was 1979, when he reached the Wimbledon final and the US Open semifinal. Those are his only final and semifinal results in the data for that year.

Australian Open title stands alone

Tanner’s only championship result is the 1977 Australian Open (Jan), and it came at age 26. Across 34 tournaments, that is the lone title in his Grand Slam record.

Wimbledon was his most productive major

Wimbledon produced his best spread of results: a final in 1979, semifinals in 1975 and 1976, and another quarterfinal in 1983. No other Slam shows as many deep finishes in the table.

Strong early-to-mid career peak before decline

From 1974 through 1979, he reached at least the round of 16 in seven separate Slam appearances, including four semifinal-or-better runs. After 1980, his results mostly fell to the early rounds, ending with a first-round exit in 1984.

Career totals show high efficiency

He played 34 Grand Slam tournaments and 127 matches, compiling a 94-33 record for a 74% win rate. That volume of wins is concentrated in a relatively small number of events, with only one title and one runner-up finish.
