Wimbledon 1996 was the clear peak

His only Grand Slam final came at Wimbledon in 1996, when he was 27. That result stands out against a career that otherwise topped out at one quarterfinal and five round-of-16 finishes.

Australian Open was his strongest major overall

Across eight Australian Open appearances, he reached the quarterfinals once, the round of 16 twice, and the round of 32 once. No other Slam produced a better single result than that quarterfinal.

US Open was his most frequent stage

He played the US Open 10 times, more than any other Slam, and it supplied 10 of his 32 total Grand Slam tournaments. His US Open run included the final in 1996 and five additional appearances reaching at least the round of 64.

His best stretch came from 1992 to 1996

From 1992 through 1996, he reached at least the round of 16 in seven of 16 Slam appearances, including the 1994 Australian Open quarterfinal and the 1996 Wimbledon final. That five-year span contains all of his deepest runs.

Results declined sharply after age 27

At age 27 in 1996, he reached the Wimbledon final and the US Open round of 64. After that, his remaining Slam results were R64, R128, R64, and R128, with no further second-week appearance.
