One breakthrough run, and it came at the 2016 Australian Open

Her only Grand Slam result better than the first round was a round-of-16 finish at the 2016 Australian Open, achieved at age 21. Every other listed appearance ended in R64 or R128.

Most of her Slam career ended in the opening round

She reached R128 in 12 of 17 tournaments, including both 2023 events, both 2021 events, and three of four in 2020. That makes first-round exits the dominant pattern across her Grand Slam record.

2019 was her most productive Slam season

In 2019 she played all four majors and reached the third round twice, with R64 finishes at the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and US Open, plus an R128 at Roland Garros. No other year in the data produced more than one R64.

Her Grand Slam activity was split into three distinct phases

The record shows appearances in 2015-2016, then 2018-2021, then 2023, with no listed Grand Slam results in 2017 or 2022. That creates a clear gap between her early and late Slam stretches.

Her later Slam results were weaker than her mid-career peak

After the 2019 season, she never again reached R64: 2020 brought one R64 and two R128s, 2021 brought two R128s, and 2023 brought two more R128s. The post-2019 pattern is a steady slide back to opening-round exits.
