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.
2023–2026 · 15 games summed across the range
| Stat | Value | Count | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aces | 70 | 158.5 service games | 0.4 / game |
| Double faults | 30 | 158.5 service games | 0.2 / game |
| 1st serve in | 618 | 953 serve points | 65% |
| 1st-serve points won | 416 | 618 1st serves in | 67% |
| 2nd-serve points won | 159 | 335 2nd serves | 47% |

| Return points lost | 306 | 901 return points | 34% |
| Break points saved | 44 | 90 faced | 49% |
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.
