US Open was the constant anchor

Every one of her 29 Grand Slam tournaments included the US Open, and 16 of her 49 matches came there. Her best US Open result was R32 in 1984, with all other US Open runs ending at R64 or R128.

Wimbledon became her second-best major

She played Wimbledon 14 times and reached R32 once, in 1987 at age 26. That was her only Wimbledon finish better than R64; the rest ended at R64 or R128.

Her peak came in the mid-1980s

Her strongest stretch was 1984-1988, when she produced her only R32 at the US Open and her only R32 at Wimbledon, plus her lone French Open appearance in the data, a R64 in 1988. That five-year span contains all of her best-round variety.

Early breakthrough, then a long plateau

She reached R32 at the US Open in 1978 at age 18, but after that she never advanced beyond R64 in any Slam until 1984. From 1985 through 1990, most of her results were R64 or R128.

Late-career results held up into her 30s

Her final two Slam appearances were both in 1991, and both reached R64: Wimbledon at age 30 and the US Open at age 31. That matched her best post-1987 level and closed a 1976-1991 Grand Slam career.
