Insights
Best run came at Roland Garros in 1980
His deepest Grand Slam result was the 1980 French Open, where he reached the round of 16 at age 23. That is the only R16 in his 15-tournament Grand Slam record.
US Open was his most frequent stage
He appeared at the US Open seven times: 1974, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982. Across those seven starts, his best US Open result was the round of 64 in 1979.
Peak stretch clustered in 1979-1981
His strongest sequence came over three consecutive years: R64 at the 1979 US Open, R16 at the 1980 French Open, and R64 at Wimbledon in 1981. That span produced three of his four best results.
Career ended with a sharp drop after 1980
After reaching R16 in 1980, his next four Grand Slam appearances all ended in the first round: US Open and Wimbledon in 1980, then US Open and French Open in 1981, plus the 1982 Australian Open.
Early and late appearances were both first-round exits
He debuted at the 1974 US Open at age 17 and returned to Grand Slam play at age 19 in 1976, but both of those early appearances ended at R128. His final appearance, the 1982 Australian Open at age 25, also ended at R128.
