Peak result came in 1982 at age 24

Steinmetz’s best Grand Slam showing was R32, reached twice: at the 1982 French Open and the 1984 Wimbledon. Both came when she was 24 or 26, with the first peak arriving in 1982.

1982 was her strongest season by depth and volume

She played three majors in 1982 and reached the round of 32 at the French Open, plus round of 64 at Wimbledon and the US Open. That year produced her best overall cluster of results, with no first-round exits.

Her career was built on consistency at the early rounds

Across 15 Grand Slam tournaments and 25 matches, she finished with a 10-15 record and 40% wins. Seven results ended in R128, six in R64, and only two advanced beyond that to R32.

She was most active in the middle of her career, then returned once in 1988

Her Grand Slam span runs from 1981-1986, then resumes in 1988. The 1988 return produced two results at age 30: R64 at the US Open and R128 at the Australian Open.

Wimbledon was her best major by single-event result

At Wimbledon she reached R32 in 1984 and R128 in 1983 and 1986, giving her one of her two career-best finishes there. By contrast, her French Open and US Open results topped out at R32 and R64 respectively.
