Peak came in 1985 with back-to-back quarterfinals

His best Grand Slam results were two quarterfinals, both in 1985 at the US Open and Wimbledon, when he was 26. That was the only season in the data with results better than the round of 16.

Strongest stretch ran from 1980 to 1985

Across those six seasons, he reached at least the round of 32 in 11 of 15 tournament appearances, including his only quarterfinals and one round of 16. The sequence shows a clear mid-career peak before the drop-off in 1986.

French Open was his most consistent major

He played the French Open eight times and reached at least the round of 32 in six of them, including one round of 16 and two round-of-32 finishes. His only French Open results below that level were R64 in 1978 and R128 in 1979.

Wimbledon produced both his best and worst swings

At Wimbledon he went from R128 in 1978 and 1981-1982 to a quarterfinal in 1985. That span also includes R64 in 1979 and 1986, plus R32 in 1980, showing the widest spread among his majors.

Career ended with a sharp two-event decline

His final Grand Slam season was 1986, when he fell to R128 at the French Open and R64 at Wimbledon at age 27. Those were his only results that year, and both were worse than every finish from 1983 through 1985.
