Peak came in 2006, with a semifinal and a quarterfinal

His best Grand Slam run was the 2006 French Open semifinal at age 27, and he also reached the Australian Open quarterfinal that same season at 26. Those are his only results beyond the round of 16.

Only two seasons produced multiple second-week appearances

He reached at least the round of 16 twice in 2006 and twice in 2011. In every other season listed, his best result was a single round of 16 or worse.

Australian Open was his most productive major

Across 12 Australian Open appearances, he reached the quarterfinal once, the round of 32 four times, and the round of 64 once. That is a stronger top-end profile than at the other three majors, where his best was the semifinal at Roland Garros.

Late-career decline was steep after 2008

From 2008 through 2012, he never advanced beyond the round of 32 except for the 2011 French Open round of 16. The sequence includes three straight first-round exits in 2008-2010 across Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Australian Open.

Career ended with a first-round exit at age 32

His final Grand Slam result was the 2012 Australian Open round of 128 at age 32. That closed a 1999-2012 Grand Slam career spanning 48 tournaments and exactly 96 matches.
