Robert Van't Hof
Robert Van't Hof has found the Tour difficult, recording 83–105 across 188 matches (44.1%). The numbers point to a player still building their Tour presence — a key area of opportunity going forward. Claimed 2 titles: Taipei, Seoul.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): Robert Van't Hof is 8–12 (40.0%) across 20 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth makes that a notoriously difficult barrier.
4 finals reached — won 2, lost 2 (solid 50% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers. 6 semifinals. 12 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10: 2–13 (13.3%, 15 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: 8–13 (38.1%); best-of-three: 75–92 (44.9%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1982 — 18–16 (52.9%) from 34 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the career continues to develop.
