Peter Elter
Peter Elter has found the Tour difficult, recording 91–122 across 213 matches (42.7%). The numbers point to a player still building their Tour presence — a key area of opportunity going forward. Peter Elter has reached 3 finals without yet claiming a title — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): Peter Elter is 7–10 (41.2%) across 17 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth makes that a notoriously difficult barrier.
3 finals reached — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 3 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 7 semifinals. 15 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: 11–17 (39.3%); best-of-three: 80–105 (43.2%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1982 — 18–19 (48.6%) from 37 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the career continues to develop.
