Peak came in 1991 Australian Open semifinal run

His best Grand Slam result was the semifinal at the 1991 Australian Open, reached at age 24. That stands out as his deepest finish across 23 tournaments and 51 matches.

1995 was his strongest all-around Slam season

In 1995 he reached the quarterfinals at the US Open, the round of 16 at the Australian Open, and the third round at both Wimbledon and the French Open. No other season in the data shows four appearances with three results better than R64.

Early-career progress peaked quickly, then stalled

From 1990 to 1992 he improved from R64 at the US Open to a semifinal, then posted R32 and four straight R64 results across the next three Slams. The data shows a sharp early rise followed by a long plateau.

Late-career results were mostly first- or second-week exits

After 1995, his final five Slam appearances produced only one result better than R64: the 1995 US Open quarterfinal. The remaining four were R32, R64, or R128 finishes, including two straight R128 exits in 1994.

His best results were concentrated at the Australian Open and US Open

All three of his standout finishes came at those two events: semifinal at the 1991 Australian Open, round of 16 at the 1995 Australian Open, and quarterfinal at the 1995 US Open. Wimbledon and the French Open never produced anything beyond R32.
