Two distinct Grand Slam phases, separated by a four-year gap

Her Grand Slam career is split into 1990-1991, 1995-1997, and 1999-2001, with no results listed for 1992-1994 or 1998. That creates three short bursts rather than a continuous run.

Best results came only at the first two rounds

Across 17 tournaments and 22 matches, her top finishes were five R64s and 12 R128s. She never advanced beyond the round of 64, so every Grand Slam win came before the third round.

1991 was her busiest Slam season

She played all four majors in 1991, the only year in the data with a full Slam slate. That season produced one R64 and three R128 results at age 18.

Her strongest single-year showing was 2000

In 2000 she reached the round of 64 twice, at the French Open and Australian Open, while also posting two R128 exits at Wimbledon and the US Open. That is her only season with multiple R64 results.

Late-career results were mostly first-round exits

From 1999 through 2001, she went 1-8 in Grand Slam matches, with eight of those nine results ending in R128 and only one R64. Her final listed Slam, the 2001 Australian Open, ended at age 28 in R128.
