Peak run came in 1976-1977
Ramírez reached three semifinals in a two-year span: the 1976 French Open and Wimbledon, then the 1977 French Open. Those are his only semifinal results in the data, making this his clear Grand Slam peak.
1978 was his deepest all-around season
He made the quarterfinals at all three events he entered in 1978: the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. That is his only season with three quarterfinals, and it came after the semifinal surge.
Strongest results clustered on clay and grass, not in New York
His best results by tournament are three semifinals at the French Open and Wimbledon, but only one quarterfinal at the US Open. Across the full record, the US Open tops out at one quarterfinal and one round of 16.
Early breakthrough, then a long decline in later years
He reached the round of 16 at the US Open in 1974 and 1975, then the quarterfinals in 1978. After that, his results fell to round of 16 in 1980, round of 64 in 1981-1982, and round of 128 in 1983.
Career span shows steady accumulation across 31 tournaments
Ramírez played 31 Grand Slam tournaments from 1971 to 1983, producing a 60-31 record over 91 matches. His results include 6 quarterfinals and 3 round-of-16 finishes, showing repeated deep runs rather than a single isolated peak.
