Insights
Peak came at Wimbledon in 1983
His best Grand Slam result was the Wimbledon R16 in 1983, achieved at age 24. That stands alone as his only round-of-16 finish, with his next-best outcomes limited to three R32s.
Wimbledon was his most productive major
Across six Wimbledon appearances, he reached the R16 once, the R64 three times, and the R128 twice. No other Slam produced a result as deep as that 1983 Wimbledon run.
Most of his Slam career sat in the first two rounds
Of 18 Grand Slam tournaments, 7 ended in R64 and 3 in R32, while 7 more ended in R128. That means 17 of his 18 Slam events finished before the round of 16.
1985 was his strongest season by volume of results
He played three majors in 1985 and reached the R32 twice, at the Australian Open and US Open, plus the R64 at Wimbledon. That was his only year with multiple round-of-32 finishes.
His final Slam appearances came late in the career arc
His Grand Slam span ran from 1982 to 1988, then resumed once in 1990. The 1990 events came at ages 31 and 32, and both were early exits: R64 at the Australian Open and R128 at the US Open.
