Rounds are the round each match was played in, not a ladder: a player enters a 32-draw straight in R32, and team events (United Cup, Davis Cup) are not played through a draw at all — those have their own row. Ranking bands use the opponent's ranking on match day and are cumulative: top 100 includes top 10.

Season statistics
Each stat is stored as a value–count pair, so seasons can be added together and the rate is always value ÷ count.
2016–2026 · 539 games summed across the range
| Stat | Value | Count | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aces | 1,922 | 5,671 service games | 0.3 / game |
| Double faults | 2,472 | 5,671 service games | 0.4 / game |
| 1st serve in | 21,586 | 36,642 serve points | 59% |
| 1st-serve points won | 14,467 | 21,586 1st serves in | 67% |
| 2nd-serve points won | 6,806 | 14,968 2nd serves | 45% |
| Service points won | 21,184 | 36,426 serve points | 58% |
| Return points lost | 17,302 | 37,915 return points | 46% |
| Break points saved | 2,242 | 4,000 faced | 56% |
Value is what happened (aces hit, points won), count is how often it could (service games, points played). Adding seasons adds both — the rate is never averaged from percentages.
