Peak years came in a tight 2003-2009 window

All six of his deepest Grand Slam runs happened between 2003 and 2009: one title, four finals, and five semifinals are listed in the summary. That concentration shows his major-level peak was sustained, but still bounded to a seven-year span.

Wimbledon and the US Open drove his best results

His strongest finishes were heavily concentrated at Wimbledon and the US Open: Wimbledon produced four finals and one semifinal, while the US Open produced one title, two finals, and two quarterfinals. By contrast, his French Open best was only a semifinal.

Australian Open was his earliest major breakthrough

His first semifinal came at the 2003 Australian Open at age 20, and he reached the final there again in 2009 at age 26. That makes Melbourne the site of both his earliest and one of his latest deep runs.

Late-career decline was sharp after 2009

After reaching the 2009 Wimbledon final and Australian Open semifinal, he never advanced beyond the quarterfinals again. From 2010 to 2012, his best results were a quarterfinal at the 2011 US Open and a fourth-round showing at the 2012 US Open.

French Open remained his weakest major

Across his career, the French Open never produced anything better than a semifinal-equivalent run; the best listed result is R16 in 2009. He also had multiple early exits there, including R128 in 2003, 2006, and 2007, plus R64 in 2005.
