Peak run came at Wimbledon in 1997

1999 was her most consistent Slam season
In 1999 she reached the round of 16 at all three events listed: Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon. That was her only season with three straight R16 results.
Early breakthrough, then immediate consolidation

Late-career decline was abrupt
After reaching the Australian Open quarterfinal in 2001, her 2002 results were all first-round exits at the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. Her final listed Slam match in 2003 was a round-of-64 loss at the Australian Open.
Strong overall record, but limited volume
