Insights
Only one quarterfinal, and it came at Wimbledon in 1980
Fleming’s best Grand Slam result was a single quarterfinal, recorded at Wimbledon in 1980 at age 25. Across 27 tournaments and 52 matches, no other run went beyond the round of 32.
His strongest Slam was Wimbledon, where he reached the round of 64 or better six times
Wimbledon produced his only quarterfinal plus three round-of-64 finishes and two round-of-128 exits. That gives him six Wimbledon appearances at R64 or better, more than any other Slam in the data.
US Open was his most frequent major, with nine appearances and his best consistency
He played the US Open nine times, more than any other Slam listed. It also supplied his only round-of-32 result outside the Australian Open, and he reached at least the round of 64 in seven of those nine starts.
His peak stretch came from 1978 to 1980
From 1978 through 1980, Fleming posted his best cluster of results: R32 at the 1978 US Open, R64 at Wimbledon in 1978 and 1979, and the 1980 Wimbledon quarterfinal. That three-year span contains his deepest run and most of his stronger finishes.
Results declined after age 25, with no finish better than R64 after 1980
At age 25 in 1980 he reached his career peak, but every later result was R64 or worse. From 1981 through 1987, his best finishes were four R64s and one R32, with the rest ending at R128.
