Insights

Only one Grand Slam run reached the second week

Cara Black’s best Grand Slam result was the 2001 French Open R16, and her overall record shows just one finish beyond the opening week. Across 30 tournaments and 50 matches, that lone deep run stands out clearly.

Her strongest stretch came in 2000-2001

From the 2000 Australian Open through the 2001 French Open, she reached at least R64 in all five events listed, including four straight R64s in 2000 and the R16 at Roland Garros in 2001. That is her most sustained period of progress in the data.

Wimbledon produced her best surface-specific peak

Wimbledon is where she posted her second-best result, reaching R32 in 1998 and again in 2003, plus R64 in 2000 and R32 in 2005. No other Slam shows multiple results as high as R32.

Her results declined sharply after 2001

After the 2001 French Open R16, she never advanced past R64 again. From 2002 through 2006, her best finishes were four R64s, followed by three R128 exits and one R32 at Wimbledon in 2005.

She was most productive in her early twenties

Her age 21-22 seasons contain the peak: R64 at all four majors in 2000 and then the R16 at age 22 in 2001. By age 25-27, every listed result was R64 or worse.
