Insights
Peak run came at Wimbledon in 1982
Bunge’s only semifinal in the data was Wimbledon 1982, when she was 19. That stands out as her deepest Grand Slam result, ahead of one quarterfinal and six round-of-16 finishes.
French Open was her steadiest major
She reached at least the round of 16 at the French Open four times: 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982. No other Slam appears that consistently deep in her results.
1984 was her most even four-Slam season
In 1984 she played all four majors and reached the round of 32 at each one: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. That is her only season in the data with four identical results across the Slams.
Best late-career result came at age 24
Her final two recorded Slam appearances were in 1987, and the better of them was a round-of-16 at the US Open at age 24. The other was a round of 32 at Wimbledon, showing a modest finish rather than a deep late surge.
Strong overall record built on 30 tournaments
Across 30 Grand Slam tournaments, Bunge won 57 of 87 matches for a 66% record. Her results cluster in the middle rounds, with six round-of-16 finishes, one quarterfinal, and one semifinal.
