Insights

Only one second-week run, and it came at Roland Garros in 2006

His best Grand Slam result is a single R16, achieved at the 2006 French Open at age 26. Across 16 tournaments and 24 matches, every other appearance ended in R64 or R128.

Clay was clearly his strongest Slam surface

All three of his French Open results were his best or near-best: R128 in 2002, R16 in 2006, and R64 in 2007 and 2009. By contrast, Wimbledon never got beyond R128 except for two R64s in 2008 and 2009.

His peak Slam stretch was 2007-2009

From 2007 through 2009 he played 12 Grand Slam tournaments and reached at least R64 in six of them. That run includes his only two Wimbledon R64s, both French Open R64s, and his lone US Open R64-equivalent absence from the second round.

He was a late-career regular at the majors

After debuting at the 2002 French Open, he returned only once in 2004, then appeared in every Slam season from 2006 to 2010. His final recorded Slam was the 2010 Australian Open, where he lost in R128 at age 29.

His Grand Slam record was built on consistency, not volume of wins

He compiled an 8-16 record, which is a 33% win rate, over 24 matches from 16 tournaments. The distribution is heavily weighted toward early exits: 10 R128s, 5 R64s, and just 1 R16.
