Peak came in a two-year Grand Slam surge

Her best results were concentrated in 1996-1998: finalist at the 1996 Australian Open, semifinalist at the 1998 Australian Open, and semifinalist at the 1993 French Open. That stretch produced all three of her deepest runs and stands out against her overall 96-43 Grand Slam record.

1995 was her most complete Slam season

In 1995 she reached the round of 16 at all four majors: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. No other season in the table shows four identical finishes across the Slam calendar.

Her best year-end Slam run was at age 21

At 21 in 1996, she made the Australian Open final, then still reached the French Open round of 16 and Wimbledon round of 32. That year combines her highest single-event finish with three other results inside the top 32.

Early career progress was steady from 15 to 18

From age 15 in 1990 to age 18 in 1993, her results improved from R128/R64/R32 to a semifinal at the French Open. The progression is visible across four consecutive seasons, with no major regression interrupting the climb.

Her Slam profile was strongest on hard courts and weakest at Wimbledon late

She reached her only final and one semifinal at the Australian Open, while Wimbledon after 1995 never went beyond the round of 32 and included R128 in 1999. The data shows a sharper late-career drop at Wimbledon than at the other majors.
