At Grand Slam level (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open): Steve Denton is 23–18 (56.1%) across 41 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth makes that a notoriously difficult barrier.
6 finals reached — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 6 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 11 semifinals. 27 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10: 3–29 (9.4%, 32 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: 22–21 (51.2%); best-of-three: 86–95 (47.5%). Slightly better in five-set matches — a positive sign for Grand Slam campaigns specifically.
Dominant season: 1982 — 43–24 (64.2%) from 67 matches. That year represents a level of dominance that sets the ceiling for what Steve Denton can produce.
