Best run came at age 23

Christiane Jolissaint’s top Grand Slam result was one Round of 16, reached at the 1984 Australian Open when she was 23. Her next-best finishes were three Round of 32s, showing that she repeatedly got close but never advanced beyond the fourth round.

1984 was her strongest season

She played four majors in 1984 and produced her only Round of 16 plus a Round of 64 at Wimbledon, while the French Open and US Open ended in Round of 128. That year stands out as her deepest and most balanced Grand Slam campaign.

Her best surface stretch was on hard courts and grass

Across the data, her deepest results on hard courts came at the Australian Open, including the Round of 16 in 1984 and Round of 32 in 1985 and 1987. On grass, Wimbledon produced two Round of 64s and one Round of 128, making it one of her steadier events.

She peaked early, then mostly settled into early exits

From 1980 through 1984 she reached at least the Round of 64 in 10 of 15 recorded appearances, including multiple Round of 64s and her lone Round of 16. From 1985 through 1988, 8 of 10 appearances ended in Round of 128 or Round of 64.

Her Grand Slam record was narrowly below .500

Over 25 tournaments and 44 matches, Jolissaint compiled a 19-25 record, which the table lists as 43% won. That places her at #502 of 1956 in the Open Era and #10 of 35 among Swiss women in the dataset.
