Palm returned to Wimbledon in 1978 and lost to Buster Mottram in opening round.

Palm, who comes from Malmköping, was a quarter-finalist at the Copenhagen Open in 1976. Later in the year he upset Mark Edmondson in the 1976 Swedish Open, then in the 1976 Stockholm Open held a match point in the second round against Mark Cox, who went on to win the tournament.
