Two fourth-round runs define the peak

Her best Grand Slam results were two R16 finishes, both in 1995: the Australian Open at age 20 and the French Open at age 21. No other result in the table goes beyond R64.

1995 was her strongest season by far

In 1995 she reached R16 twice, R64 once, and R128 once across four majors. That is the only year in the data with multiple second-week appearances and the only season with two results better than R64.

She improved steadily from 1992 to 1995, then slipped

Her first five recorded majors from 1992 through 1994 were all R128 or R64, before the jump to two R16s in 1995. In 1996 and 1997, every listed result returned to R64 or R128.

Her Grand Slam career was concentrated in her early twenties

All 17 recorded appearances came between ages 18 and 22, with the final entry at age 22 in the 1997 Australian Open. The data shows no Grand Slam results beyond age 22.

Australian Open and French Open were her best venues

She reached R16 twice at the Australian Open and French Open combined, while Wimbledon and the US Open never produced a result better than R64. Across the four majors, those two events account for her highest finishes.
