Best run came at age 21 in Melbourne

Her top Grand Slam result was the R32 at the 2007 Australian Open, achieved at age 21. That was her only result better than R64, and it stands out as the peak of a 21-tournament career.

2007 was her strongest season by depth

In 2007 she reached the R32 in Australia, then the R64 at Roland Garros, before falling in the R128 at Wimbledon and the US Open. No other year produced a better combined set of results across the four majors.

She never advanced beyond the first week at Wimbledon or the US Open

Across her career, Wimbledon produced only R128 finishes except for one R64 in 2006, while the US Open was mostly R128 with a single R64 in 2003. She never reached the second week at either event.

Her results were concentrated in the opening round

Of 21 Grand Slam appearances, 13 ended in R128, six in R64, two in R32, and none went further. That distribution matches her 10-21 match record and shows how rarely she converted early rounds into deeper runs.

Her Grand Slam career was brief and front-loaded

She competed from 2001 to 2008, debuting at age 16 at the 2001 US Open and making her final appearances at age 23 in 2008. The span covers eight seasons, but the results never moved past the R32 barrier.
