Émilie Loit

Insights

Only one second-week run, and it came at Roland Garros

Loit’s best Grand Slam result was a single R16, achieved at the 1999 Australian Open at age 19. Across 41 tournaments and 73 matches, she never advanced beyond that round.

French Open was her most productive major

Her strongest tournament by volume of deep runs was the French Open: 1 R16, 2 R32s, 5 R64s, and 5 R128s. That is also where she made her Grand Slam debut in 1997 and where her career ended in 2009.

Her peak stretch came from 2001 to 2003

From 2001 through 2003, she reached at least the R64 in 10 of 12 Slam appearances, including four R32 results and one R64 at each of the 2002 Australian Open and 2003 US Open/Wimbledon. This was her clearest sustained run of competitiveness.

2008 marked a sharp late-career drop

In 2008 she went 1-3 at the majors, with only one win-equivalent result better than R128: R32 at the French Open and R64 at Wimbledon. The other two Slams that year ended in R128, and 2009 finished with another R128 at Roland Garros.

Her results were notably stronger on clay and grass than in Melbourne or New York

She reached R32 or better six times at the French Open and four times at Wimbledon, compared with three such results at the Australian Open and two at the US Open. That split is visible across the full 1997-2009 record.
