At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): Bernard Mitton is 22–25 (46.8%) across 47 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth makes that a notoriously difficult barrier.

vs. Top 10: 5–37 (11.9%, 42 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: 22–30 (42.3%); best-of-three: 184–200 (47.9%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests, though the five-set record is still respectable.
