Wimbledon produced her only second-week run

Her best Grand Slam result is one R16, and it came at Wimbledon in 2022 at age 30. Across 45 tournaments, that is the only time she advanced beyond the third round.

Australian Open was her strongest early major

Her deepest Australian Open run was R32 in 2013 at age 20. That stands out against a broader Australian Open record of mostly R64 or R128 finishes, with no later improvement beyond R64.

Her peak stretch came in 2012-2015

From 2012 through 2015, she reached at least R64 in 11 of 16 Grand Slam appearances, including R32 at Wimbledon in 2012 and 2015 and R32 at the Australian Open in 2013. After 2015, her results were mostly R128, aside from Wimbledon 2017, Wimbledon 2019, and Wimbledon 2022.

Wimbledon is where her results were most concentrated

Wimbledon accounts for her best finish, her two R32 results, her R64 result in 2014, and her only post-2015 breakthrough to R16. By contrast, her French Open and US Open records never went beyond R64 and R128 respectively in the supplied data.

Her Grand Slam profile is built on volume, not wins

She has played 45 Grand Slam tournaments and 68 matches, but her overall record is 23-45, a 34% win rate. The results table shows 12 R64 finishes, 4 R32 finishes, and only 1 R16 finish, underscoring how rarely she converted early rounds into deep runs.
