Patrick Rafter has an impressive career record of 358–191 across 549 matches (65.2% — strong). A win rate of that calibre over 549 matches is a reliable indicator of genuine quality. With 11 titles, among the most prolific champions in the Open Era: Manchester, US Open, Chennai, 's-Hertogenbosch and 4 more.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): a positive 76–33 (69.7%) across 109 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams.
ATP Masters 1000 (Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): a positive 75–46 (62.0%) across 121 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality.
26 finals reached — won 11, lost 15 (42% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 41 semifinals. 65 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10: 35–49 (41.7%, 84 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall career profile.
By format — best-of-five: 90–44 (67.2%); best-of-three: 268–147 (64.6%). Slightly better in five-set matches — a positive sign for Grand Slam campaigns specifically.
Dominant season: 1997 — 65–29 (69.1%) from 94 matches. That year represents a level of dominance that sets the ceiling for what Patrick Rafter can produce.
