Best run came at age 20 in the 1968 US Open

His top Grand Slam result was a Round of 32 finish at the 1968 US Open, achieved at age 20. No other result in the table goes beyond the Round of 32.

1974 was his strongest multi-event Slam season

In 1974 he reached the Round of 32 at the Australian Open and the Round of 128 at both Wimbledon and the French Open. That is his only season with three Slam appearances and his only year with a second-round result.

He peaked early, then never matched that level again

After the 1968 Round of 32, his next-best results were two Round of 64 finishes in 1973 at the French Open and Wimbledon. From 1974 through 1978, every listed result was Round of 128 except the Australian Open run in 1974.

His Slam schedule was heavily concentrated at Wimbledon and the US Open

He played the US Open 6 times and Wimbledon 6 times, compared with 3 French Open appearances and just 1 Australian Open appearance. Across 16 tournaments, those two events account for 12 entries.

Most of his Grand Slam career ended in the opening round

He recorded 12 Round of 128 results out of 16 tournaments, which matches the table’s best-results breakdown. Overall he won 6 of 22 matches, a 27% win rate.
