Insights

Peak results came in a narrow 1977-1981 window

Teeguarden’s only quarterfinal appearance was at the 1977 French Open, and her other best runs were seven round-of-16 finishes. Those deeper results cluster between ages 21 and 30, with her strongest stretch centered on 1975, 1977, and 1981.

Her best season by volume was 1981

In 1981 she reached the round of 16 twice, at Wimbledon and the French Open, while also adding a round of 64 at the Australian Open and a round of 128 at the US Open. That is her only season with four Grand Slam appearances in the data.

She was most competitive at the French Open in the middle of her career

The French Open produced her best result and several of her strongest follow-ups: quarterfinals in 1977, round of 16 in 1975 and 1978, and round of 32 in 1972 and 1980. Even late, she still reached the round of 64 there in 1982, 1983, and 1984.

Her US Open record is the most durable across the full span

She appeared at the US Open in 18 different years from 1968 through 1984, missing only 1985 in the listed results. Her best US Open showing was the round of 16 in 1970 and 1975, but she also reached the round of 32 four times.

Longevity is the defining feature of her Grand Slam career

Her Grand Slam career spans 1968-1985, with 49 tournaments and 123 matches for a 74-49 record. She was still competing at age 34 in 1985, and her final listed result was a first-round exit at the French Open.
