Two peaks, both in the mid-1980s

Keretić’s best Grand Slam results were two round-of-16 finishes: the 1982 Australian Open at age 22 and the 1986 French Open at age 26. Those are his only results better than the round of 32.

French Open was his most productive major

He reached the French Open four times and produced his strongest overall run there: R32 in 1982, R64 in 1983, R128 in 1985, R16 in 1986, and R32 in 1987. That is more appearances and more deep runs than at any other Slam in the data.

Australian Open shows the sharpest decline after an early high

His Australian Open record moves from R16 in 1982 to R128 in 1984 and 1988, with only one intermediate R64 in 1985 and an R32 in 1989. The sequence suggests an early peak followed by mostly early exits.

Wimbledon never got past the first week

Across three Wimbledon appearances, Keretić never advanced beyond R128: 1983, 1985, 1986, and 1987 all ended there. Unlike the other majors, Wimbledon contains no result better than the round of 128.

His Slam career was compact but balanced

From 1982 to 1989 he played 15 Grand Slam tournaments and split his matches exactly 15-15, a 50% record over 30 matches. The results are spread across four seasons of deeper progress and several years of early exits, rather than one long peak.
