Peak came at Roland Garros in 2001

Her best Grand Slam result was a quarterfinal at the 2001 French Open, reached at age 23. That stands alone as her deepest run, ahead of one Round of 16 and one Round of 32 finish.

French Open was clearly her strongest major

Across six French Open appearances, she produced her best result there and also reached the Round of 16 in 2003. Her other French Open finishes were R64, R128, R128, and R64, showing a higher ceiling on clay than elsewhere.

2003 was her most productive Slam season

In 2003 she went 3-1 across the four majors, with results of R64, R64, R16, and R64. That was her only season with a Round of 16 and the only year she won three Grand Slam matches.

She peaked in volume and consistency in 2004

Her busiest Slam year was 2004, when she played all four majors and reached the Round of 32 in Australia. The other three results that year were two R128 exits and one R64, making it her most complete four-tournament season.

Her Slam career ended with a sharp drop in 2005

After the 2004 season, her final two Grand Slam results were R64 at the Australian Open and R128 at the French Open, both at age 27. That closed a six-year Slam span from 2000 to 2005 with 39 matches and an 18-21 record.
