A left-handed baseliner Vilas' best season on tour was 1977 when he not only won two of the four majors but also 16 of the 31 ATP tournaments he entered (absolute record in the Open Era), a record which at the time had only ever been equaled by the legendary Rod Laver. His playing record for that season was an amazing 145 wins against 14 losses (ATP win-loss record was 128-14). The season climax was winning the last US Open played at Forest Hills against Jimmy Connors 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-0 in a match where Vilas surprised his American rival by attacking the net.

He also had 53 winning streak in claycourt (including both ATP and unofficial tournaments, record broken by Rafael Nadal in 2006). Both his winning streaks were terminated on October 1977 by Ilie Năstase in the final of Aix-en-Provence tournament. In that 5-setter final, he dropped the first 2 sets by 1-6, 5-7 and then retired from the competition because of his dissatifaction with Ilie Năstase's using an illegal racquet. He complained that the opponent had used the spaghetti string^[1] racquet which was banned by ATP shortly after.

Even though he won 16 ATP singles titles including French Open (named after Roland Garros) and U.S. Open and the runner-up of Australian Open of January in 1977, he never rose up to number 1. He was year-end number 2 in the 1977 ATP ranking, only below Jimmy Connors (who won 7 titles including Masters and both runners-up of Wimbledon and US Open in 1977). However, the magazine World Tennis, generally the referring one of that sport at that time, gave Vilas the number one ranking and Champion of the World title.

He also took Argentina to its first-ever Davis Cup final in 1981 (lost to U.S.A.), together with José Luis Clerc, who was also a top-ten player. The Argentine press made many mentions of the tensions between the two, which even reverberated to the 2004 French Open awards ceremony, in which Vilas presented Gastón Gaudio with his trophy, over Clerc's objections.
