Peak came in 1971, with a semifinal and three other deep runs

His best Grand Slam season was 1971: semifinal at the Australian Open, plus round-of-16 finishes at the French Open and US Open, and a round-of-32 at Wimbledon. That is the only season in the data with a semifinal.

Wimbledon was his strongest major overall

Across the results shown, Wimbledon produced his deepest run outside the semifinal: a quarterfinal in 1969, plus round-of-16 finishes in 1979 and 1982. He also reached the round of 32 there three times, showing repeated competitiveness at that event.

US Open was his most frequent stage for late-career results

He played the US Open 13 times in the table, more than any other Slam listed. His best US Open result was the round of 16, reached four times: 1971, 1972, 1978, and 1982.

His career stretched from teenage debut to age 36

The data shows his first Grand Slam appearance at age 20 in 1968 and his last at age 36 in 1983. That span covers 16 calendar years of results, with a gap in the listed career between 1972 and 1974.

Most of his Slam results clustered in the early rounds
