Diane Desfor

Insights

Best run came in 1978 and 1979

Desfor’s deepest Grand Slam results were two R32 finishes in 1978 and 1979, one at the French Open and one at Wimbledon. Those are her only results better than R64 across the 16-tournament career.

She was most active in 1980-1982

Ten of her 16 Grand Slam appearances came in the three-year span from 1980 through 1982. That stretch also produced 7 of her 13 match wins, showing her busiest period was also her most productive.

Australian Open appearances were limited but efficient

She entered the Australian Open only twice, in 1980 and 1981, and reached the R32 both times. No other tournament in her record shows a 100% repeat of the same best result across multiple appearances.

Wimbledon and the US Open were her most frequent stages

She played Wimbledon five times and the US Open six times, more than any other Slam in the data. Wimbledon produced her best result, while the US Open supplied the largest share of her total appearances.

Her career peaked in her mid-20s

All 16 Grand Slam results came between ages 21 and 27, with her best finishes at ages 22, 23, and 24. The final two entries, both in 1982 at age 27, were her only results that did not reach beyond R64.
