Peak came at the 1974 French Open

His best Grand Slam result was a quarterfinal at the 1974 French Open, achieved at age 27. That stands alone as his deepest run, with his next-best finishes being one round of 16 and two round-of-32 results.

1973 was his strongest all-around Slam season

In 1973 he reached three different events and produced his best Wimbledon result, the round of 16, while also making the round of 32 at the French Open. Across those three appearances, he went 2-3 in matches.

Late-career improvement peaked before a final dip

After mostly early exits from 1969 through 1972, he improved sharply in 1973-1975, including the quarterfinal in 1974 and a round of 32 at the 1975 US Open. His final Slam year in 1976 then ended with three straight round-of-64 losses.

His Slam record was narrowly positive despite many early exits

Across 15 tournaments and 31 matches, he finished 16-15 for a 52% win rate. That balance is notable because nine of his 15 appearances ended in round-of-64 or worse, yet the deeper runs kept his overall record above .500.

He was especially competitive at Wimbledon and the French Open

Wimbledon produced his round-of-16 best and two round-of-128 exits, while the French Open gave him his quarterfinal, plus round-of-64 and round-of-32 results. By contrast, his US Open results never went beyond the round of 32.
