Best Slam run came at Roland Garros in 2005

Her only Round of 16 result was at the 2005 French Open, when she was 28. That was also her deepest run across 42 Grand Slam tournaments and 64 matches.

French Open was clearly her strongest major

Across 11 French Open appearances from 1997 to 2007, she reached at least the Round of 64 every time and went beyond that four times: R64 in 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2006, R32 in 2001, and R16 in 2005.

Wimbledon produced her best non-clay results

Her top Wimbledon finishes were two Round of 32 appearances, in 2001 at age 24 and in 2004 at age 27. Outside those years, she was mostly stopped in the opening round, with only one Round of 64 in 1997 and several R128 exits.

Australian Open peak came early, then faded

She reached the Round of 32 at the Australian Open in 2001 and the Round of 64 in 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2004. After that, her last three Australian Open appearances in 2005, 2006 and 2007 all ended at R128.

Her Grand Slam career ended with a four-major sweep of first-round exits

In 2007 she played all four majors and lost in R128 each time, at ages 30 and 31. That closed a career spanning 1997-2007, with 22 wins and 42 losses overall.
