Wimbledon was his most productive Slam

Across his 15 Grand Slam appearances, Wimbledon produced both of his best runs: R32 in 2017 and R64 in 2012 and 2018. It is also where he appeared most often in the later years, with results recorded there in 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.

2018 was his strongest single season

He reached the round of 64 at three different majors in 2018: Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon, all at age 30. That was his only season with three results at the R64 level, and it came after a 2017 peak of one R32 and one R128.

His career was built on first-round exits, but he broke through five times

Nine of his 15 Slam results ended in R128, while only six reached R64 or better. Still, he advanced beyond the opening round in six events, including two R32 finishes and four R64 finishes.

His Grand Slam career was split into two distinct stretches

The data shows appearances from 2011-2013, then again from 2015-2019, with no results listed for 2014. That gap separates an early phase capped by a 2012 R64 from a later phase that included his only R32 result in 2015 and 2017.

His best results came in his late twenties and age 30

Bemelmans’ top runs were concentrated between ages 24 and 30: R64 at Wimbledon in 2012 at 24, R32 at Wimbledon in 2017 at 29, and three R64 finishes in 2018 at 30. His final listed Slam, Wimbledon 2019, ended at age 31 in R128.
