Insights

Late-career peak came in 2017-2018

Anderson’s two Grand Slam finals both arrived in consecutive seasons: the 2017 US Open and 2018 Wimbledon. Those were his only final appearances, and they came after a long build-up from earlier-round results.

His best stretch was concentrated in 2013-2015

From 2013 through 2015, he reached at least the round of 16 in 11 of 12 Slam appearances, including four straight R16 runs in 2013-2014 and another strong run in 2015. The only miss in that span was the 2013 US Open, where he fell in the third round.

Australian Open was his weakest major by deep runs

Across 12 Australian Open appearances, his best result was four round-of-16 finishes, but he also had five exits at R128 and three at R64. That profile is weaker than his Wimbledon and US Open peaks, where he reached two finals and a quarterfinal.

He stayed competitive into his mid-30s, but results dropped sharply

At age 32 in 2018, he reached the Wimbledon final and the US Open round of 16. By ages 34-35 in 2020-2022, his results were mostly early exits: R64, R128, R32, and R128 across his last five Slam appearances.

His career was unusually durable across 48 Slams

Anderson played 48 Grand Slam tournaments from 2008 to 2022, producing 124 matches and a 76-48 record. That volume, plus 11 round-of-16 finishes, shows sustained relevance rather than a short peak window.
