Teymuraz Gabashvili

Insights

Two second-week runs, both at Roland Garros

Gabashvili’s best Grand Slam results were two R16 finishes, and both came at the French Open: 2010 at age 25 and 2015 at age 30. No other major produced a result beyond the third round.

Clay was clearly his strongest major surface

Across the data, his French Open record is the only one with repeated deep progress: R16 in 2010 and 2015, plus R32 in 2016 and R64 in 2009 and 2014. By contrast, Wimbledon and the Australian Open never got past R64.

His peak came in a narrow 2014-2016 window

From 2014 through 2016, he reached at least the third round in four of nine Slam appearances: R32 at the 2014 Australian Open and US Open, R16 at the 2015 French Open, and R32 at the 2016 French Open. That stretch contains all of his results better than R64 after 2010.

Most of his Slam career ended in the first round

He played 32 Grand Slam tournaments and lost in the opening round 18 times, including four straight first-round exits in 2016-2017. His overall record was 18-32, so exactly half of his matches were losses.

He was already making main-draw progress at 21

Gabashvili’s first two Slam appearances in the data were both R64 finishes at the 2006 and 2007 US Open, both at age 21. He then matched or improved on that only intermittently, with his next R64-or-better result coming at the 2007 Wimbledon and later at the 2009 French Open.
