David Rikl
David Rikl has found the Tour difficult, recording 54–94 across 148 matches (36.5%). The numbers point to a player still building their Tour presence — a key area of opportunity going forward. David Rikl has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): David Rikl has struggled at Grand Slam level: 7–13 (35.0%) in 20 matches. The best-of-five format and elite fields make this the toughest benchmark on Tour.
ATP Masters 1000 (Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): David Rikl has struggled at Masters level: 5–11 (31.3%) in 16 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record.
One final reached, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 3 semifinals. 11 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10: 1–11 (8.3%, 12 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: 7–14 (33.3%); best-of-three: 47–80 (37.0%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1994 — 19–28 (40.4%) from 47 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the career continues to develop.
