Robert Kendrick

Insights

All four of his best Grand Slam runs came in the same round

Robert Kendrick’s peak result was the round of 64, and he reached it exactly four times: 2006 Wimbledon, 2008 US Open, 2009 US Open, and 2009 French Open. Every other Slam appearance ended in the round of 128.

2009 was his busiest and strongest Slam season

He played all four majors in 2009, more than any other year in the data, and produced two of his four round-of-64 finishes that season. The other two 2009 results were round-of-128 exits at Wimbledon and the Australian Open.

His only wins came in a narrow late-career window

Kendrick’s 4-17 Grand Slam record is built entirely from 2006-2009, with no match wins shown before 2006 or after 2009. His 2010 and 2011 appearances were all first-round exits, so the winning stretch ended before his final two Slam seasons.

He was most active at the majors in his late 20s

All 17 of his Grand Slam tournaments came between age 23 and 31, with the heaviest concentration at ages 27-29. He played four Slams at age 27, two at 28, four at 29, and two at 30.

His career was heavily weighted toward the US Open and Wimbledon

Across 17 tournaments, he appeared seven times at the US Open and five times at Wimbledon, compared with three Australian Opens and two French Opens. Those two events also account for all four of his round-of-64 results.
