Insights

Peak came in 2014-2016, with a lone fourth-round breakthrough

Her best Grand Slam result was R32, reached three times: at the 2013 US Open, the 2014 Australian Open, and the 2017 US Open. Every other finish was R64 or R128, so she never advanced beyond the third round.

2016 was her most consistent Slam season

She reached R64 in all four majors in 2016, at ages 24 across the board. That is her only season with a uniform result at every Slam, and it produced four of her 19 career match wins.

2018 marked a sharp drop to first-week exits

After the 2017 US Open R32 run, all four of her 2018 Slam appearances ended in R128. That was her only season with four straight opening-round exits, and it came at age 26.

Her Slam career was concentrated in her mid-20s

Across 25 tournaments, she appeared at Grand Slams from age 18 in 2010 through age 28 in 2020, but most of her results came between ages 22 and 26. The data show 2014-2017 as her busiest and strongest stretch.

Australian Open was her best major by result, but not by volume

She reached R32 at the Australian Open in 2014, her best result there, and also posted R64 in 2016 and R128 in 2015, 2017, and 2018. Across the four majors, that makes Australia the only Slam where she reached the third round.
