Best Grand Slam runs came in two different majors

Her top results were two round-of-16 finishes: the 1996 US Open at age 21 and the 2000 French Open at age 24. Those are her only appearances beyond the round of 32.

French Open was her strongest event overall

Across 10 French Open appearances from 1994 to 2002, she reached R16 once, R32 twice, and R64 once, with the rest ending in R128. That is a deeper profile than at Wimbledon or the US Open.

Australian Open showed the clearest late-career peak

Her best Australian Open result was R32 in 2002 at age 26, after earlier runs of R64 in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000. The sequence then dropped to R128 in 2001, 2003, and 2004.

Her most productive stretch was 1998-2002

In those five seasons she produced both of her R16s, both of her R32s, and most of her R64 results. Before 1998 she had only one R64 and no finishes better than R64; after 2002 she never advanced past R128 again.

She was a frequent main-draw player but rarely a deep one

Over 37 Grand Slam tournaments and 64 matches, her record was 27-37, a 42% win rate. The distribution of best results—11 x R64, 5 x R32, and 2 x R16—shows consistency in reaching early rounds, but limited progression beyond them.
