Best run came at Roland Garros in 1998

His top Grand Slam result was a round-of-16 finish at the 1998 French Open, achieved at age 23. That was his only result better than the round of 32 across 17 tournaments.

1997 was his strongest Slam season by depth

In his first recorded Grand Slam year, he reached the round of 32 twice and the round of 64 once, plus a round of 32 at the US Open. No later season matched that concentration of deeper runs.

He peaked in volume in 1999

1999 is the only year in the data with four Slam appearances, and it produced his widest spread of outcomes: R64 at the Australian Open and French Open, R32 at Wimbledon, and R128 at the US Open.

His results trended downward after 1998

After the 1998 French Open R16, he never again advanced beyond the round of 32. From 1999 through 2002, his finishes were mostly R64 or R128, with only one R32 in that span.

He stayed competitive into his late twenties

His final recorded Slam appearance was the 2002 French Open at age 27. Across the full span from age 21 to 27, he accumulated 33 matches and a 16-17 record.
