Peak came in 2002 with a lone quarterfinal run

His best Grand Slam result was the 2002 French Open quarterfinal, the only quarterfinal listed in 42 tournaments. That season also included a Wimbledon R32 and Australian Open R32, making 2002 his deepest overall Slam year.

2004 was his strongest four-Slam season

In 2004 he reached the Australian Open and US Open round of 16, plus the Wimbledon and French Open round of 64. No other year in the table shows two round-of-16 finishes across the four majors.

Late-career results settled into early exits

From 2005 through 2009, every listed Slam result was R64 or worse, except for four R64s in 2005-2007. The final four entries in 2009 were all R128, showing a clear drop to first-round exits.

Australian Open was his most productive major

His Australian Open results include the quarterfinal in 2002, two round-of-16 finishes in 1999 and 2004, and two round-of-32 finishes in 2001 and 2002. That is stronger than his other majors, which never produced a quarterfinal.

His best results clustered between ages 24 and 30

The deepest runs all came from age 24 to 30: R16 at 24 and 26, R32 at 27 and 28, the quarterfinal at 28, and two R16s at 29-30. After age 31, he never advanced beyond the round of 64.
