Peak came in the Open Era, capped by a Wimbledon final

Her best Open Era run was the 1968 Wimbledon final at age 30, the only final listed in her Grand Slam results. In the same era she also reached one semifinal and six quarterfinals, showing her strongest concentration of deep runs.

Australian Open was her most frequent stage

Of her 23 Grand Slam tournaments, 11 were at the Australian Open. That event also produced her widest spread of results, from five quarterfinals in the Amateur Era to a 1974 quarterfinal and a 1977 December quarterfinal in the Open Era.

Late-career longevity was exceptional

Her Grand Slam career stretched from 1962 to 1977, with results recorded at ages 24 through 40. She was still reaching the Australian Open round of 32 at age 40 in January 1977, after a quarterfinal there at age 39 in December 1977.

Her best stretch clustered between 1968 and 1971

From 1968 through 1971 she produced her strongest sequence: a semifinal at the 1968 Australian Open, a Wimbledon final in 1968, quarterfinals at Wimbledon and the US Open in 1969, and a Wimbledon semifinal plus US Open quarterfinal in 1971.

She was consistently a second-week threat, not a one-off finalist

Across 103 matches she won 80, a 78% record, and her results include 13 quarterfinals or better. That mix of volume and repeated deep finishes suggests sustained competitiveness rather than a single isolated breakthrough.
