Australian Open was her clear center of gravity

She played the Australian Open in 10 of her 17 Grand Slam tournaments, far more than any other major listed. Her best results there include four finals, one semifinal, one quarterfinal, one round of 16, and one round of 32.

Her peak came in a tight 1960-1964 amateur stretch

All four of her Grand Slam finals came between 1960 and 1963, with another semifinal in 1964. In that five-year span she also added multiple quarterfinals, showing her strongest run was concentrated before the Open Era entries begin.

She reached at least the quarterfinal stage in 13 of 17 events

Across the full record, her results include 4 finals, 2 semifinals, and 7 quarterfinals, totaling 13 tournaments at quarterfinal level or better. That leaves only four appearances below the quarterfinal round: two round-of-16 finishes, one round of 32, and one semifinal-era gap beyond the listed best results.

Open Era results were notably shallower than her amateur peak

In the Open Era she has one quarterfinal, two round-of-16 finishes, and one round of 32, with no finals or semifinals listed. By contrast, her Amateur Era record includes four finals and two semifinals, making the later phase clearly less deep.

Her Grand Slam career stretched from age 17 to 36

The results table shows her first listed Grand Slam at age 17 in 1959 and her last at age 36 in 1977. That 19-year span is unusually long within the supplied data and includes appearances across both the Amateur and Open eras.
