Peak came in a three-year stretch

Her only final and all four semifinal runs were concentrated between 2012 and 2016: finalist at Wimbledon in 2012, semifinalist at the Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2013 and 2014, then again at Wimbledon in 2015 and the Australian Open in 2016.

Wimbledon was her strongest Slam

Wimbledon produced her best result, plus three semifinal-or-better finishes and multiple deep runs: R16 in 2006, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2016, R64 only twice, and the 2012 final. No other Slam matches that level of peak output.

Australian Open showed the widest range

Her Australian Open results span from R128 in 2009 to a semifinal in 2014 and another in 2016. That mix includes quarterfinals in 2012 and 2013, showing the event where her ceiling and volatility were both most visible.

Late-career decline was abrupt

After reaching at least the round of 16 in every Slam from 2012 through 2016, she dropped to R64 at Wimbledon and R128 at the US Open in 2018. In 2017, her best result was only R16 at Wimbledon.

Her best years were 2012 and 2016

Those seasons delivered her top Grand Slam outcomes: a Wimbledon final in 2012 and an Australian Open semifinal in 2016. Each year also included at least one additional round-of-16-or-better result, making them her most productive Slam seasons.
