Career

Early in his career, Eberhard had his best performances in his home country.[2] He was quarterfinalist at the Stuttgart Outdoor tournament in 1978 and reached the quarter-finals at Berlin the following year.[2] The West German defeated Peter Elter to make second round of the 1978 French Open.[2]

In 1980, he reached the semifinals of the BMW Open in Munich and again made the second round of the French Open, beating Spaniard José López-Maeso.[2] He took part in a Davis Cup tie for the West German team that year, playing two singles rubbers against Swedish players Björn Borg and Kjell Johansson, which he both lost.[3]

Eberhard was an Austrian Open and Tel Aviv Open semifinalist in 1981.[2] Also that year, he reached the quarterfinals in Mexico City.[2]

He defeated Mario Martinez in the first round of the 1982 French Open, then lost a five-set second-round match to John Lloyd.[2] It would be his last win at a Grand Slam tournament.[2]

In 1982, he was a quarterfinalist at the Cairo Open and made the semifinals in Linz.[2]
