Peak came at 17, with a quarterfinal and a round-of-16 run

Her best Grand Slam results were both in 2009: a quarterfinal at the US Open and a round-of-16 at Wimbledon, both at age 17. Those are the only results above the third round in her 18-tournament career.

2009 was her clear high-water mark

In 2009 she reached the quarterfinals, the round of 16, and also opened with an Australian Open first-round exit. That three-event spread is her strongest single-year cluster in the data, far ahead of the later seasons.

After 2009, she never got past the third round again

From 2010 through 2013, every Grand Slam result was R128, R64, or R128, with no repeat of the 2009 breakthrough rounds. Her best finish in that span was only R64, achieved twice in 2010 and once in 2013.

Her results were strongest at the US Open

The US Open produced her only quarterfinal, plus an R64 in 2010 and three R128 exits in 2008, 2011, and 2012. Across the other majors, her best was Wimbledon’s 2009 R16 and French Open’s R64.

She finished with a modest overall record despite 18 Slam appearances

Across 18 tournaments and 29 matches, her Grand Slam record was 11-18, a 38% win rate. That total includes only one quarterfinal and one round-of-16 appearance, with four additional R64 finishes.
