Sashi Menon

Insights

Best run came at the 1975 US Open

Sashi Menon’s deepest Grand Slam result was R32, achieved once at the 1975 US Open at age 22. Every other listed appearance ended in R64 or R128, so this was his only step beyond the first two rounds.

US Open was his most productive major

He played the US Open seven times and reached at least R64 in five of those starts, including one R32 and three R64 finishes. His other two US Open appearances, in 1971 and 1972, ended at R128.

Wimbledon produced his longest late-career stretch

From 1980 through 1983, Menon appeared at Wimbledon four straight times, with results of R64, R64, R128, and R128. That run spans ages 27 to 30 and shows his final Grand Slam years were concentrated there.

His peak results clustered in his mid-20s

Menon’s best stretch came between ages 23 and 27, when he recorded R64 finishes at the 1976 US Open, 1976 Wimbledon, 1976 French Open, 1977 US Open, 1978 Australian Open, 1979 Australian Open, and 1980 Australian Open. The only better result in that span was the 1975 US Open R32 at age 22.

Career was split into two distinct phases

His Grand Slam career is listed as 1971-1972 and 1975-1983, leaving a three-year gap with no results in 1973-1974. Across those two phases, he totaled 21 tournaments and 34 matches, finishing 13-21 overall.
