Best Slam run came at Wimbledon in 1984

His top Grand Slam result was a quarterfinal at Wimbledon in 1984, at age 21. That stands out as his only quarterfinal and his only result better than the round of 16.

Most of his Slam results clustered in the first two weeks of the draw

Across 34 tournaments, he reached the round of 32 or better only eight times: one quarterfinal, one round of 16, and five round-of-32 finishes, plus the 1982 US Open round of 32. The remaining 26 appearances ended in the round of 64 or round of 128.

1987 was his broadest four-Slam season

In 1987 he played all four majors and reached the round of 32 at Wimbledon, his best result that year. The other three majors that season ended in the round of 64 at the Australian Open and round of 128 at both the French Open and US Open.

His strongest stretch came in the mid-1980s

From 1984 through 1985 he produced his best sequence: Wimbledon quarterfinals in 1984, then round-of-64 finishes at all three majors he entered in 1985. After that, his results mostly settled into round-of-128 or round-of-64 exits.

He was a long-tenured Slam competitor but with a modest overall record

His Grand Slam career ran from 1980 to 1992, spanning 34 tournaments and 62 matches. He finished 28-34, a 45% win rate, which places him #329 of 2307 in the Open Era and #67 of 466 among American men.
