Fritz Buehning

Insights

Best runs came in 1981 and 1982

Buehning’s top Grand Slam results were two round-of-32 finishes: Wimbledon in 1981 at age 21 and the US Open in 1982 at age 22. Those are his only results better than round-of-64 across 16 tournaments.

Most of his Slam appearances ended in the first two rounds

His 16 tournaments produced 10 round-of-64 exits and 4 round-of-128 exits, leaving only 2 round-of-32 results. That distribution explains the 14-16 match record and 47% win rate.

1980 was his busiest Slam season

He played four Grand Slams in 1980: Australian Open, US Open, Wimbledon, and French Open. That was his only season with four appearances, and it included his only French Open result, a round-of-64 finish.

He reached the same stage repeatedly at the US Open

Across four US Open appearances from 1979 to 1984, he posted R128 in 1979, R64 in 1980 and 1981, R32 in 1982, and R128 again in 1984. The sequence shows both his deepest Slam run and his longest event-to-event progression came there.

His Slam career was concentrated in his early twenties

Every listed result came between ages 19 and 24, with his debut in 1979 at 19 and his final appearance in 1984 at 24. The bulk of his activity clustered at ages 20 to 23, when he played 14 of his 16 tournaments.
