Best runs came in 1988

Her only Round of 32 results were at Wimbledon and the Australian Open in 1988, both at age 23. That was her deepest Grand Slam level in the dataset, and it came in the same season at two different majors.

Strongest stretch was 1983-1985

From 1983 through 1985, she reached at least the Round of 64 in every Grand Slam appearance listed, including four Round of 64 results and two Round of 32 results in 1985. After that, her results mostly shifted to Round of 128.

French Open was her weakest major

Her French Open record shows only two appearances, both ending in Round of 128 in 1985 and 1986. By contrast, she reached Round of 64 or better at the other three majors multiple times.

Career volume was concentrated in the early and middle 1980s

She played 25 Grand Slam tournaments and 40 matches across an eight-year span from 1983 to 1990. The yearly entries show a dense run from 1983 to 1989, followed by only two appearances in 1990.

Late-career results declined sharply

After reaching Round of 32 twice in 1988, she posted only Round of 128 results in all three majors entered in 1989. In 1990, she managed one Round of 64 at the Australian Open but fell back to Round of 128 at Wimbledon.
