Tom Gullikson

Insights

Only one Grand Slam quarterfinal, and it came at the US Open in 1982

Tom Gullikson’s best result was a single quarterfinal appearance, recorded at the 1982 US Open at age 31. Every other listed Slam run ended in the round of 32 or earlier.

His strongest stretch was 1979-1984, when he repeatedly reached the round of 32

Across those six seasons, he posted nine round-of-32 finishes, including three straight at Wimbledon from 1978-1980 and another cluster in 1982-1985. That run accounts for most of his career-best results.

Wimbledon was his most productive major by deep runs

He reached the round of 32 at Wimbledon four times and the round of 64 once, plus a round-of-128 finish in 1981 and 1986. No other Slam shows as many round-of-32 results in the data.

His final two Slam seasons were still competitive, but clearly below his peak

In 1985-1986 he went 3-3 across six matches listed, with one round-of-32 at Wimbledon and one at the US Open, but also a round-of-128 at the 1985 US Open and a round-of-64 at Wimbledon in 1986. That contrasts with the quarterfinal peak in 1982.

He played 28 Slam tournaments and finished with a narrow winning record

Over 58 matches, Gullikson compiled a 30-28 record, which is listed as 52% won. The results table shows appearances from 1976 through 1986, spanning 11 seasons.
