Mark Dickson
Mark Dickson has a competitive career record of 128–118 across 246 matches (52.0%). The record shows a player capable of competing at Tour level, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 2 titles: Houston WCT, Toulouse.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): Mark Dickson is 10–11 (47.6%) across 21 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth makes that a notoriously difficult barrier.
3 finals reached — won 2, lost 1 (solid 67% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers. 11 semifinals. 27 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10: 5–18 (21.7%, 23 matches). Top 10 opponents have represented a clear ceiling; addressing that deficit is the single biggest lever for improving the overall record.
By format — best-of-five: 10–15 (40.0%); best-of-three: 118–103 (53.4%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance.
Peak season: 1984 — 36–22 (62.1%) from 58 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Mark Dickson can do when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
