Two titles came in back-to-back seasons

Savitt’s Grand Slam record shows two championships, both in 1951 and 1952. The titles were split across Wimbledon in 1951 and the Australian Open in 1951 and 1952, giving him a brief but concentrated peak.

1951 was his deepest all-around Slam season

In 1951 he reached at least the semifinals at all four majors listed: champion at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, semifinalist at the US Open, and quarterfinalist at the French Open. That is his only season with results spanning every stage from quarterfinals to titles.

His best US Open run repeated three times, then stopped at the quarterfinals

Savitt made the US Open semifinals in 1950 and 1951, then reached the quarterfinals in 1952, 1956, and 1958. Across five US Open appearances in the data, his peak was the same twice before a later run of three straight quarterfinal exits.

His Grand Slam career was compact but spread over five separate years

The career span listed is 1950-1952, 1956, and 1958, with 11 total matches recorded. That means his Slam results were concentrated into a short early block, followed by two isolated returns four and six years later.

His final Slam result came at age 31

The last row in the data is the 1958 US Open, where Savitt reached the quarterfinals at age 31. His earlier 1956 US Open quarterfinal came at 29, showing his late-career Slam appearances still produced a similar level of result.
