Two distinct Grand Slam phases, separated by a two-year gap

Zíb’s Grand Slam career is split into 1999-2000 and 2003-2008, with no results listed in 2001-2002. That gap sits between an early four-event opening stretch and a longer late-career run that produced most of his matches.

His only second-week breakthrough never came, but he did reach R64 four times

Across 15 tournaments and 19 matches, his best result was R64, achieved four times. The remaining 11 appearances ended in R128, so every Slam run stopped before the third round.

Wimbledon was his most productive major

Wimbledon accounts for three of his four R64 finishes: 2005, 2006, and 2007. It is also the only Slam where he reached R64 in consecutive years, making it his clearest surface-specific peak in the data.

His best season came in 2005

In 2005 he played all four majors and produced his strongest yearly haul: R64 at Australian Open and Wimbledon, plus R128 at French Open and US Open. That is the only season in the table with two R64 results.

His deepest runs came in his late 20s and early 30s

Zíb’s R64 results came at ages 28, 29, 30, and 31, while his final listed Slam match came at age 32 in 2008. The data shows his best Grand Slam outcomes clustered well after his first appearance at age 23.
