ATP Masters 1000 (Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): Michel Kratochvil has struggled at Masters level: 5–15 (25.0%) in 20 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record.
2 finals reached — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 2 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 5 semifinals. 13 quarterfinals.

By format — best-of-five: 12–21 (36.4%); best-of-three: 61–77 (44.2%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests, though the five-set record is still respectable.
