Anna-Lena Grönefeld

Insights

Peak came at Roland Garros in 2006

Her best Grand Slam result was a quarterfinal at the 2006 French Open, reached at age 21. That stands out as her only result beyond the round of 16 across 21 tournaments.

2005 was her strongest all-around Slam season

In 2005 she reached the round of 32 at both the Australian Open and French Open, plus the round of 32 at the US Open. Across the four majors that year, she never fell earlier than the third round.

She played all four majors in six straight seasons

From 2004 through 2009, she appeared in every Grand Slam tournament listed each year, for a total of 24 consecutive main-draw entries before the 2010 drop to two events. That run ended with only first-round exits in both 2010 appearances.

Her best hard-court major was the 2008 US Open

The 2008 US Open produced her second-best Slam result, a round of 16 at age 23. No other hard-court major in the data matches or improves on that finish.

Results declined sharply after 2006

After the 2006 French Open quarterfinal, she never advanced past the round of 64 again. From 2007 to 2010, 10 of her 14 listed Slam results were first-round losses.
