Insights

Peak came at the French Open

Solomon’s best Grand Slam result was the 1976 French Open final at age 23. He also reached the French Open semifinals in 1974 and 1980, giving him three of his six deepest runs in Paris.

French Open was his most productive major

Across the French Open rows, he posted one final, three semifinals, one quarterfinal and several round-of-16 finishes. That concentration is stronger than at any other Slam in the table, where his best results never exceeded a semifinal.

US Open was his most frequent stage

He appeared at the US Open 11 times, more than any other Slam listed. Those starts produced one semifinal, three round-of-16 finishes, three round-of-32 exits, and two first-round losses, showing both volume and mixed depth.

Late-career decline is visible after age 28

From age 24 through 28, Solomon repeatedly reached the second week or close to it, including the 1977 US Open semifinal and 1980 US Open round of 16. After age 28, his results fell to R32, R64, and finally R128 in 1986.

Career was concentrated in the 1970s and early 1980s

His Grand Slam career spans 1972-1984 and then one final appearance in 1986. The table shows his strongest stretch from 1974 to 1980, when he produced all six of his deepest runs: three semifinals, one final, one quarterfinal, and one round of 16.
