Michaël Llodra

Insights

Two clear peaks, both at the same stage

Llodra’s best Grand Slam result was the round of 16, reached four times: French Open 2004 and 2008, US Open 2004, and Wimbledon 2011. Those are his only results better than the round of 32.

His strongest stretch came in 2007-2011

From 2007 through 2011, he reached at least the round of 64 in 17 of 20 Slam appearances, including his lone round-of-16 run in 2011. That five-year block contains all of his deepest late-career results.

Early career was mostly first-week exits

In his first six Slam seasons from 2000 to 2005, he went out in the round of 128 in 13 of 18 appearances. The exceptions were three round-of-64 runs and the two round-of-16 finishes in 2004.

Wimbledon produced both his earliest and latest deep runs

His first Grand Slam result better than the round of 128 came at Wimbledon 2000, when he reached the round of 64 at age 20. His last such result was Wimbledon 2011, when he reached the round of 16 at age 30.

French Open was his most productive major by volume of deep runs

Across the data, he reached at least the round of 64 at the French Open six times: 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2013. That is more than at any other Slam in his record.
