French Open was her most productive Slam

Across the 17 Grand Slam tournaments listed, her best results include four R32 finishes, and three of those came at the French Open in 1984, 1985, and 1987. She also reached R128 there three times, making Paris her most frequent site of deeper runs.

Her peak came in 1987 at age 23

1987 is her strongest season in the table: she reached the Australian Open R32 at age 23, then added R128 results at Wimbledon and the French Open. That is the only year in which she advanced beyond R64.

She was most competitive in the early 1980s

Her best early stretch runs from 1980 to 1984, when she produced her first R64 at the 1980 Australian Open, reached R128 at the 1981 US Open, and then improved to R64 again at the 1983 Australian Open. By 1984 she had two R64s and an R32.

Her Slam record is narrowly below .500

She played 29 Grand Slam matches and won 12, for a 12-17 record and a 41% win rate. That means her results were competitive but consistently short of the later rounds, with nine finishes at R128.

Her career was concentrated between ages 16 and 24

The results span from age 16 at the 1980 Australian Open to age 24 at the 1988 French Open. Within that nine-year window, she appeared in 17 Slam tournaments, with no results listed for 1982.
