Peak came in 1994 and 1996

His two best Grand Slam runs were quarterfinals at the 1994 US Open and 1996 French Open. Those are the only two Q results in his 26-tournament career.

1993 was his busiest and most productive Slam season

He played all four majors in 1993 and reached the round of 32 twice, at the French Open and US Open. That was his only season with two R32 finishes.

Best results were concentrated in his mid-20s

Both quarterfinals came at age 26 and 28, while his only R32 finishes came at ages 24, 25, and 27. His Slam peak therefore clustered between ages 24 and 28.

Australian Open was his weakest major

Across seven Australian Open appearances, his best result was only the round of 32 in 1997. He otherwise exited in R128 six times, making Australia his least productive Slam by depth.

Late-career decline was clear after 1996

After the 1996 French Open quarterfinal, he never again advanced beyond the round of 64. From 1997 to 2000, his results were R32, R128, R128, R128, and R128.
