Georges Goven has a competitive career record of 197–230 across 427 matches (46.1%). The record shows a player capable of competing at Tour level, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 1 title: Berlin.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): Georges Goven is 24–34 (41.4%) across 58 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth makes that a notoriously difficult barrier.
6 finals reached — won 1, lost 5 (17% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 13 semifinals. 38 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10: 2–17 (10.5%, 19 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: 45–53 (45.9%); best-of-three: 152–177 (46.2%). Consistent regardless of format — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Peak season: 1970 — 32–17 (65.3%) from 49 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Georges Goven can do when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
