Brian Baker
Brian Baker has found the Tour difficult, recording 20–40 across 60 matches (33.3%). The numbers point to a player still building their Tour presence — a key area of opportunity going forward. Brian Baker 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): Brian Baker has struggled at Grand Slam level: 7–12 (36.8%) in 19 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): Brian Baker has struggled at Masters level: 2–5 (28.6%) in 7 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. 1 semifinal. 1 quarterfinal.
vs. Top 10: 1–3 (25.0%, 4 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: 7–12 (36.8%); best-of-three: 13–28 (31.7%). Slightly better in five-set matches — a positive sign for Grand Slam campaigns specifically.
Best season: 2012 — 11–13 (45.8%) from 24 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the career continues to develop.
