Insights
Best run came at Wimbledon in 1995
Her deepest Grand Slam result was a round-of-16 finish at Wimbledon in 1995, when she was 24. That is the only R16 in her 24-tournament Slam career.
1995 was her strongest Slam season
In 1995 she reached four main draws and produced her best spread of results: R16 at Wimbledon, R64 at the French Open, and R128 at both the Australian Open and US Open. No other year in the data matches that level of depth.
Her peak came in a tight 1994-1999 window
All of her better results cluster between 1994 and 1999, including the R32 at the 1994 US Open, the 1998 Wimbledon R32, and the 1999 French Open R32. Outside that span, her results were mostly R64 or R128.
Wimbledon was her most productive major
Wimbledon produced her best result and one of her two R32-or-better finishes, with R32 in 1992, R16 in 1995, and R32 again in 1998. Across the other Slams, she never advanced beyond R32.
Her Slam career was long but modest in volume
She played 24 Grand Slam tournaments and 44 matches, finishing 20-24 for a 45% win rate. Despite that volume, her results were concentrated at early-round exits: nine R64s, four R32s, and one R16.
