Best run came at Roland Garros in 1995

Her only result beyond the first two rounds was the 1995 French Open, where she reached the round of 32 at age 20. Across 22 Grand Slam tournaments, that stands alone as her deepest finish.

Most of her Slam career ended in the opening round

She finished in the round of 128 in 16 of her 22 Grand Slam appearances, compared with five round-of-64 results and just one round-of-32. That distribution shows a career heavily concentrated at the earliest stage.

1997-1999 was her most consistent stretch

From the 1997 Australian Open through the 1999 US Open, she reached at least the round of 128 in every Slam and twice made the round of 64. The only exception in that span was the 1998 French Open, where she reached the round of 64.

Her final season was her strongest at Wimbledon

In 2000 she played three Slams and produced her best Wimbledon result, reaching the round of 64 at age 25. Her other two appearances that year ended in the round of 128, so Wimbledon was the lone step forward.

She debuted at 18 and closed at 25

Her Grand Slam career ran from 1994 to 2000, beginning with the 1994 Australian Open and French Open at age 18. Her last recorded Slam was the 2000 US Open at age 25, giving her a seven-year span in the data.
