Peak came at the 1979 Australian Open semifinal

Amaya’s only semifinal run is the clear high point of his Grand Slam record, and it came at age 25. His next-best listed result is a single round of 16, so the semifinal stands alone as his deepest finish.

He was most productive in 1979-1980

Those two seasons produced 8 of his 29 Grand Slam match wins: four in 1979 and four in 1980. They also contain his best stretch of results, including the semifinal in 1979 and the Australian Open round of 16 in 1980.

Australian Open was his strongest major by peak result

Across four Australian Open appearances, he reached the semifinal in 1979 and the round of 16 in 1980. That is stronger than his French Open and Wimbledon peaks, which topped out at the round of 32 and round of 64 respectively.

His career ended with a sharp late decline

After reaching the Wimbledon round of 32 in 1981, his final four Slam results were all earlier exits: two round-of-64 losses in 1982, then round-of-128 losses at Wimbledon and the US Open in 1983. The last two came at ages 28 and 29.

He was a steady mid-round performer, not a frequent deep-runner

Amaya’s overall line is built on consistency more than repeated breakthroughs: 57 matches, 29 wins, and seven round-of-32 finishes. Only one result reached the semifinal, while most of his other listed finishes clustered between the round of 64 and round of 128.
