Best Slam runs came in 2018 and 2019

His top Grand Slam results were two round-of-16 finishes: the 2018 US Open and 2019 Wimbledon. Those are the only results in his record beyond the round of 32, and they came in consecutive seasons.

Australian Open was his weakest major overall

Across 10 Australian Open appearances from 2013 to 2023, he never advanced past the round of 32. His Australian Open results include five R128 exits, three R64 finishes, one R32, and one R128 in 2023.

2016 was his most productive Slam season

In 2016 he reached the round of 32 at three majors: Australian Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. That was his only season with three results at R32 or better, and it also included a French Open round of 64.

Late-career decline was sharp after 2019

After the 2019 Wimbledon R16, every listed Slam result from 2020 through 2023 was a first-week exit: seven R128s and one R64. That stretch contrasts sharply with the stronger 2016-2019 period.

His Slam career was long but mostly early-round

From 2012 to 2023 he played 38 Grand Slam tournaments and 65 matches, finishing 27-38 for a 42% win rate. Despite that volume, his best result was only two R16s, with six R32s and nine R64s.
