French Open was clearly his best Slam

His only semifinal came at the French Open in 2000, and that event also produced his other standout runs: R16 in 2001 and R64 in 1996 and 2003. Across the four majors, his deepest results are concentrated in Paris.

2000 was his peak Grand Slam season

In 2000 he reached the French Open semifinal, the Australian Open round of 32, and the US Open round of 64, while also playing Wimbledon. That is his strongest single-year cluster in the data, with three different majors reached beyond the opening rounds.

He was most productive in his mid-20s

His best results all came between ages 20 and 25, with the semifinal at 24 and the French Open round of 16 at 25. After age 25, every listed result is a first- or second-week exit no better than the round of 64.

Wimbledon and the US Open were mostly early exits

Wimbledon appears six times, but only once did he get past the first round, reaching the round of 64 in 1998. The US Open is even thinner: four appearances, all ending in the round of 128 except the round of 64 in 2000.

His Grand Slam career was short and concentrated

He played 23 tournaments and 40 matches across a 1996-2003 Grand Slam career. That span produced a 17-23 record, meaning fewer than half of his matches were wins despite one semifinal and one round-of-16 run.
