His best performances in Grand Slam tournaments came in reaching the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 1982 and the Australian Open in 1983. He also reached the quarter-finals of the US Open. Popular with professionals and fans alike, his good manners and sportsmanship earned him the nickname 'Gentleman Tim' .In the 1985 Wimbledon tournament Mayotte faced Boris Becker in the Fourth Round who was struggling with an injury. At one point Becker approached the net to concede the match. Mayotte held back and Becker continued, going on to win the match and the tournament
