Two Round-of-32 runs stand out above an otherwise early-exit profile

Across 23 Grand Slam tournaments, Chan’s best results were only two R32 finishes, with five R64s and 16 R128s. That means 16 of her 23 events ended in the opening round, while she reached the third round just twice.

Her only wins came in a narrow 2008-2013 window

Chan’s 9-23 Grand Slam record includes victories only from 2008 through 2013. She opened with five straight R128 exits from 2005 to 2007, then produced her deepest results in 2008-2011 before finishing with two more first-round losses in 2014.

Australian Open and US Open were her most productive majors

Her best Australian Open result was R64 in 2009, and her best US Open result was R32 in 2010. By contrast, her French Open and Wimbledon peaks were lower, topping out at R32 and R64 respectively.

She peaked in her early 20s, not as a teenager

Chan’s deepest runs came at ages 21 and 22: R32 at the 2010 US Open and 2011 French Open, plus R64 at the 2010 Wimbledon and 2012 French Open. Her teenage Grand Slam results never went beyond R64.

Her career arc is front-loaded, then flattens out

From 2005 to 2008 she played 10 majors and reached R64 once, then in 2009-2013 she added her only two R32 finishes and four of her five R64s. The final year, 2014, brought two straight R128 exits.
