Insights

Best runs came in 1987 and 1989

Pugh’s deepest Grand Slam results were two R32 finishes in 1987 and one more at Wimbledon in 1989. Those are his only appearances beyond the R64 stage, and they account for all three of his best results.

1988 was his most productive Slam season by match depth

He reached the R64 at both the Australian Open and French Open in 1988, plus the R128 at the US Open and Wimbledon. That is the only year in the data with two R64 results.

His Slam record peaked in 1990 before dropping in 1991

In 1990 he went 3-1 across four majors, with three R64 finishes and one R128. In 1991 he fell back to four straight R128 exits, including all three listed tournaments that year.

He played 19 majors but only 30 matches

Across 19 Grand Slam tournaments, Pugh accumulated 30 matches and an 11-19 record. That means he averaged fewer than two matches per Slam, reflecting how often he exited in the opening round.

His career was concentrated between ages 22 and 27

The results span from age 22 at the 1986 US Open to age 27 at the 1991 US Open and Wimbledon. Every listed Slam result falls within that six-year age window.
