Insights

French Open was the clear peak surface

His only title came at the French Open in 1995, and that event also produced semifinal runs in 1990 and 1997 plus quarterfinals in 1998. Across the 15 listed French Open appearances, he repeatedly reached deeper than at any other Slam.

Australian Open showed the widest range of outcomes

He reached the Australian Open semifinal in 1989 and 1997, but also exited in the first round in 1988, 1998, and 1999. That span runs from a semifinal at age 21 to two straight first-round losses at ages 30 and 31.

His best years clustered in the mid-1990s

From 1993 through 1998, he produced his strongest Slam stretch: the 1995 French Open title, semifinal or quarterfinal results in 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, and 1998, and only one first-round loss in that six-year window. The data show a sustained peak rather than a single isolated run.

Wimbledon was his least productive major

Wimbledon appears only three times in the data, and every result was a first-round loss in 1987, 1993, and 1994. No Wimbledon run went beyond the opening round.

His Slam career was long, but the volume of matches was modest

He played 39 tournaments and 116 matches across a Grand Slam career spanning 1985 to 1999, finishing with a 78-38 record. That means he averaged just under three matches per Slam event despite several deep runs.
