Insights
Wimbledon was his most productive Slam
Feaver played Wimbledon 11 times and reached his best result there twice: R16 in 1973 and R64 in 1972, 1975, 1976, and 1981. His only other non-Wimbledon best was R32 at the 1974 Australian Open.
His peak came in 1973 at age 21
1973 was his strongest Grand Slam season, with R16 at Wimbledon and R64 at the US Open. That was the only year in the data where he advanced beyond the third round-equivalent stage.
He had one clear late-career decline after 1977
From 1978 through 1984, every result was R128 or R64, with no further R32-or-better finish. The only exception was R64 at Wimbledon in 1981, after which he closed with three straight R128 exits.
Australian Open appearances were limited but varied
He appeared at the Australian Open four times, with results of R64 in 1971 and 1977, R32 in 1974, and R64 again in the December 1977 edition. That makes it his only Slam with both January and December entries in the results list.
His Grand Slam record was built on consistency, not deep runs
Across 29 tournaments and 46 matches, Feaver finished 17-29, a 37% win rate. His results cluster heavily at R128 and R64, with only two R16 appearances and one R32 showing how rarely he broke through.
