Best Slam run came at Wimbledon in 1972

His top Grand Slam result was a round of 16 at Wimbledon in 1972, when he was 21. That was his only appearance beyond the round of 32 across 23 tournaments.

French Open was his most productive major

He reached at least the round of 64 or better at the French Open seven times, including one R32 and one R64 in the best-result summary. By contrast, his Wimbledon and US Open peaks were lower overall.

Strongest stretch came early in the career

From 1971 to 1974, he produced his best sequence: R32 at Wimbledon in 1971, R16 at Wimbledon in 1972, then R32 at Wimbledon in 1973 and R64/R64/R128 across 1974. After 1977, he never advanced past the round of 64.

Late-career results trended downward

His final four Slam appearances were all losses before the round of 64: R128 at the 1979 French Open, R64 at the 1979 US Open, R128 at both 1980 majors, and R64 at the 1981 French Open. That contrasts with six earlier round-of-32 finishes.

Career volume was high, but wins stayed just under .500

He played 23 Grand Slam tournaments and 44 matches, finishing 21-23 for a 48% win rate. That balance is reflected in his frequent exits at R64 and R128 despite a decade-long Slam career from 1971 to 1981.
