Wimbledon was his most productive Slam

Seven of his 19 Grand Slam appearances were at Wimbledon, and it produced his best result: one Round of 16 in 1987. He also reached the Round of 32 there four times and the Round of 64 twice.

His peak came in 1987

1987 was his strongest Slam season by depth: he reached the Round of 16 at the US Open and the Round of 32 at Wimbledon and the Australian Open. That is the only year in the data with three Slam appearances and no result worse than Round of 32.

He was most consistent in the middle of his career

From 1986 through 1989, every Slam result shown is Round of 128 or better, and most are Round of 64 or Round of 32. That four-year stretch contains 11 of his 19 total Slam tournaments.

His career ended with a long gap and a late return

After 1990, his next and final Grand Slam appearance came in 1995 at Wimbledon, where he lost in the Round of 128 at age 32. The data shows a five-year gap between those appearances.

His best result came relatively early

He reached his lone Round of 16 at age 24 in 1987, after entering Grand Slam play at age 20 in 1983. Across the full record, he never advanced beyond the Round of 16.
