Bill Scanlon has a competitive career record of 305–259 across 564 matches (54.1%). The record shows a player capable of competing at Tour level, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. 7 titles: Maui, Auckland, Salisbury WCT, Bangkok, Zurich WCT, Newport — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): Bill Scanlon is 33–34 (49.3%) across 67 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth makes that a notoriously difficult barrier.
15 finals reached — won 7, lost 8 (47% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 36 semifinals. 69 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10: 15–53 (22.1%, 68 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: 37–44 (45.7%); best-of-three: 268–215 (55.5%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance.
Dominant season: 1983 — 42–21 (66.7%) from 63 matches. That year represents a level of dominance that sets the ceiling for what Bill Scanlon can produce.
