Insights
Only one second-week run, and it came at the 2005 Australian Open
Kevin Kim’s best Grand Slam result was R32, achieved once in 18 tournaments. That lone deeper run came at age 26 in the 2005 Australian Open; every other listed result stopped in R64 or R128.
His Grand Slam peak was concentrated in 2005-2006
All of his top four results came in a tight two-year span: R32 at the 2005 Australian Open, R64 at Wimbledon 2005, and R64 at both the Australian Open and French Open in 2006. Outside that stretch, he never advanced beyond R128.
He was most active in 2005-2006, with 8 of 18 Slam appearances
Kim played four majors in 2005 and four again in 2006, accounting for 8 of his 18 total tournaments. Those two seasons also produced 7 of his 6 wins? Wait, no—his 6 total match wins were spread across the career, but the concentration of appearances still marks those years as his busiest Slam period.
His career shows long gaps, then a late return
The results list has no Grand Slam appearances between 2000 and 2004, then resumes in 2004 and continues through 2009. That pattern creates a four-year absence after the 2000 US Open, followed by a six-season run from 2004 to 2009.
He never won more than one match at a Slam
Across 24 total matches and a 6-18 record, Kim’s best finishes imply repeated first-round exits with occasional progress to R64 and once to R32. The data never shows a result beyond the round of 32, so no tournament produced multiple wins.
