Five Grand Slam round-of-16 runs, but no deeper breakthrough

Dominguez reached the R16 five times, matching his listed best result, yet never advanced beyond that stage. Those R16 finishes came in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1977.

His strongest stretch came early in the career window

All five R16 results were recorded between ages 21 and 27, with the earliest in 1971 at age 21 and the latest in 1977 at age 27. After 1977, his best Grand Slam result dropped to R32 or worse.

French Open was his most productive major

He played the French Open 10 times and produced three of his five R16-equivalent-or-better runs there: R16 in 1971 and 1977, plus R32 in 1973 and R64 in 1972, 1975, 1979, and 1980.

Wimbledon and the US Open were mostly early exits

At Wimbledon, his best showing was one R16 in 1974, followed by R32 once and R64 three times. At the US Open, he reached R32 once in 1972, R64 once in 1973, and fell in R128 four times.

His final Grand Slam years were a clear decline

From 1978 through 1981, he never got past the first two rounds: R32 in 1978, then R64 or R128 in every later appearance. His last three results were R128, R128, and R128 from 1979 to 1981.
