Peak came at the 1988 US Open semifinal

Cahill’s best Grand Slam result was a semifinal at the 1988 US Open, achieved at age 22. It stands out as his only result beyond the round of 16 across 25 tournaments and 53 matches.

1988 was his strongest Slam season

In 1988 he reached the US Open semifinal, plus the Australian Open round of 64, Wimbledon round of 64, and French Open round of 128. That four-event run was his deepest overall season by result quality.

Australian Open was his most productive major

His Australian Open record includes six appearances and his best non-semifinal result there was the round of 32 in 1985 and 1989, plus a round of 64 in 1984 and 1988. No other Slam shows as many entries in the data.

He returned in 1994 after a three-year Slam gap

After 1991, Cahill’s next Grand Slam results appear only in 1994, when he played Wimbledon, the French Open, and the Australian Open at age 28. All three ended in the first two rounds, including two round-of-128 exits.

His career was built on consistency more than deep runs

Across 25 tournaments, Cahill finished in the round of 32 or better eight times: one semifinal, one round of 16, and six round-of-32 results. The remaining 17 appearances ended in the round of 64 or round of 128.
