Ion Tiriac has a competitive career record of 237–199 across 436 matches (54.4%). The record shows a player capable of competing at Tour level, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. 5 titles: Parioli, Palermo, Lugano, Munich, Madrid — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): Ion Tiriac is 23–20 (53.5%) across 43 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth makes that a notoriously difficult barrier.
10 finals reached — won 5, lost 5 (solid 50% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers. 21 semifinals. 55 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10: 1–13 (7.1%, 14 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: 97–57 (63.0%); best-of-three: 138–139 (49.8%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Dominant season: 1968 — 45–8 (84.9%) from 53 matches. That year represents a level of dominance that sets the ceiling for what Ion Tiriac can produce.
