Best Slam run came at the 2025 Australian Open

Her only semifinal in the data came at the 2025 Australian Open, when she was 27. That is also her deepest result overall, ahead of two quarterfinals and five round-of-16 finishes.

Hard-court majors have produced her strongest results

Across the Australian Open and US Open rows, she reached at least the round of 16 five times, including the semifinal in Melbourne and a 2024 US Open quarterfinal. By contrast, her Wimbledon best is only the round of 16.

Clay has been her most reliable surface for second-week progress

Her French Open record includes a quarterfinal in 2021, a round of 16 in 2020, and round-of-32 finishes in 2022, 2024, and 2025. That gives her more repeated deep runs at Roland Garros than at any other Slam.

Her peak came after a clear mid-career climb

From 2019 through 2021, she never advanced beyond the round of 16 and twice exited in the first round. In 2022 she reached the round of 16 at three of four majors, then improved again in 2024 and 2025.

Recent results show a sharp drop after the 2025 peak

After the 2025 Australian Open semifinal, her next three Slam results were R32 at the French Open, then R128 at Wimbledon in both 2025 and 2026. That sequence contrasts strongly with the deeper runs recorded in 2024 and early 2025.
