Insights

Two Grand Slam finals, both in the same two-year window

Plíšková’s best results are two finals, and both came in 2016 and 2021. That makes her peak unusually concentrated rather than spread evenly across her 51-tournament Grand Slam career.

Her deepest runs were heavily front-loaded

All four of her semifinal-or-better results came between 2016 and 2021: a final in 2016, a semifinal in 2017, a semifinal in 2019, and a final in 2021. After 2021, she did not reach another quarterfinal in the data shown.

Australian Open was her strongest major by volume of deep runs

She reached the Australian Open semifinal in 2019 and quarterfinals in 2017, 2018, and 2023, plus the round of 32 or better in several other years. No other Slam shows as many quarterfinal-or-better results in the table.

Wimbledon produced both her highest peak and her latest major final

Her only Wimbledon final came in 2021, and Wimbledon also includes quarterfinal-level or better results in 2018, 2019, and 2021. By contrast, her Wimbledon results in 2023, 2024, and 2026 were all outside the second week.

Her career arc shows a sharp decline after age 29

At ages 24 to 29, she produced both finals, both semifinals, and multiple quarterfinals. From age 30 onward, her best Grand Slam result in the table is only a quarterfinal, with most results falling in the first week.
