Insights

Peak came before the Open Era

Her only Grand Slam title in the data is the 1967 French Open, and it sits in the Amateur Era. That same era also contains her only semifinal at the US Open and seven quarterfinals, showing her strongest results were concentrated before 1968.

Open Era consistency, but no title-level breakthrough

Across the Open Era she reached 3 semifinals, 5 quarterfinals, and 11 round-of-16s, but never went beyond the semifinal stage. The pattern is one of repeated deep runs rather than a second major breakthrough.

Best stretch ran from ages 27 to 30

Her strongest Open Era sequence spans 1970 to 1973, when she reached at least the quarterfinals every year and twice made the semifinals. Those results came at ages 27, 28, 29, and 30, marking a sustained late-career peak.

French Open was her most productive Slam in the Open Era

At the French Open she reached the semifinals in 1972 and 1973, plus the round of 16 in 1968, 1969, and 1970. That is a stronger cluster than her Open Era showings at the other Slams in the supplied rows.

Longevity extended to age 36, but results tapered sharply

Her Grand Slam career runs from 1965 to 1979, and her final recorded appearances came at age 36 in 1979. By then the results had dropped to R128 at the US Open and R64 at both Wimbledon and the French Open.
