Insights

Only two seasons produced all six match wins

Limberger’s 6-17 Grand Slam record came entirely from 1987 and 1989. He won four matches in 1987 and two in 1989; every other listed season ended with first-round exits only.

His deepest runs were limited to the round of 64

Across 17 tournaments, his best result was R64, achieved six times. He never advanced beyond that stage, and the remaining 11 appearances ended in R128.

1987 was his busiest and most productive Slam year

He played all four majors in 1987, the only year in the data with a full Slam slate. That season also supplied his highest single-year win total, with R64 finishes at both the Australian Open and French Open.

His best age window was 23 to 25

All six wins came between ages 22 and 25, with the strongest concentration at 23 and 25. By age 26 and older, his only listed result was a single R64 at the 1990 US Open.

His career was split into two short bursts with a long gap

The Grand Slam record spans 1984-1985, 1987-1990, and 1992, leaving no listed appearances in 1986 or 1991. That pattern shows two early entries, a four-year run, then one final appearance in 1992.
