French Open was his most frequent and best Slam

He played the French Open 10 times, far more than any other major in the data, and it produced his only R32 result in 1982 at age 26. Across those 10 appearances, he reached R64 four times and R128 five times.

His only second-week-adjacent run came in 1982

The deepest result in the record is R32 at the 1982 French Open, which stands alone among his 19 Slam tournaments. Every other appearance ended in either R64 or R128, so he never advanced beyond the third round.

Late-career improvement peaked in 1984-1986

After reaching only R128 or R64 through 1983, he posted his two best US Open results in consecutive years: R64 in 1985 and 1986, both at ages 29 and 30. That late stretch also includes his only three US Open appearances.

Wimbledon remained a consistent early exit

He entered Wimbledon five times, and every result was either R128 or R64: four R128 finishes and one R64 finish in 1986. The pattern shows no Wimbledon breakthrough comparable to his French Open peak.

His Slam career was compact but steady across 1977-1986

All 19 tournaments came within a 10-year span from 1977 to 1986, producing 28 matches and a 9-19 record. He was born on 29 December 1955, so his Slam appearances ran from age 21 to 30.
