Peak came at the 1988 US Open quarterfinal

Rostagno’s only quarterfinal appearance is listed at the 1988 US Open, when he was 22. That stands out as his best Grand Slam result, ahead of three round-of-16 finishes and six round-of-32 finishes.

1991 was his strongest season by depth across majors

In 1991 he reached the round of 16 at both the US Open and Wimbledon, his only two results better than the round of 32 in the same year. The other two majors that season ended in the first round, showing a sharp split between his best and weakest surfaces.

He was a consistent second-week threat at Wimbledon and the US Open

Wimbledon produced five results of R32 or better, including two R16 runs and one R32 in 1990, 1992, 1993, 1995, and 1996. The US Open was similarly productive, with one quarterfinal, one R16, two R64s, and multiple R128 exits across his career.

His career was concentrated in a narrow age band

Every listed Grand Slam result came between ages 19 and 30, with the first in 1985 at 19 and the last in 1996 at 30. The bulk of his better runs clustered from ages 21 to 27, including the quarterfinal at 22 and both R16 finishes at 25.

He played 31 majors but won just over half his matches

Across 31 tournaments and 66 matches, Rostagno compiled a 35-31 record, which is listed as 53% won. That combination of volume and a slightly positive record suggests repeated main-draw presence without sustained deep runs.
