Ray Ruffels has a competitive career record of 246–204 across 450 matches (54.7%). The record shows a player capable of competing at Tour level, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. 5 titles: Hobart, Brisbane, Haverford, Auckland, Perth — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): Ray Ruffels is 40–29 (58.0%) across 69 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth makes that a notoriously difficult barrier.
9 finals reached — won 5, lost 4 (solid 56% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers. 26 semifinals. 56 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10: 1–9 (10.0%, 10 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: 84–55 (60.4%); best-of-three: 162–149 (52.1%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Dominant season: 1969 — 42–26 (61.8%) from 68 matches. That year represents a level of dominance that sets the ceiling for what Ray Ruffels can produce.
