Peak came in 1979, with his only quarterfinal and two other deep runs

His best Grand Slam result was the 1979 Wimbledon quarterfinal, and that same year he also reached the US Open and French Open round of 16. No other season in the data shows a result better than the round of 16.

1979 was his most productive Slam season by far

He played three majors in 1979 and reached at least the round of 16 in all three, producing his strongest cluster of results. That year stands out against 1980-1986, when he never advanced beyond the round of 32 except for one 1985 Australian Open round of 16.

Wimbledon was his strongest major overall

Across Wimbledon appearances, he produced one quarterfinal, three round-of-16 finishes, and two round-of-32 finishes. That is a better top-end profile than his US Open record, which includes only one round of 16 and many first-round exits.

His career was front-loaded, then shifted toward early exits

From 1976 through 1979 he repeatedly reached the second week or close to it, but from 1981 onward he never again reached the round of 16 except in 1983 Australian Open and 1985 Australian Open. The later years are dominated by R128 and R32 results.

He stayed active into his mid-30s, but results declined sharply

His final listed Slam match came at the 1986 US Open at age 34, and his last four appearances all ended in R128. That contrasts with his age-27 peak in 1979, when he posted his best result and two additional round-of-16 finishes.
