Peak result came at the 1989 French Open

Simpson’s best Grand Slam showing was a single R32 run, and it came at the 1989 French Open at age 23. Every other result in the data is R64 or worse, so this was her clear high-water mark.

Most of her Slam appearances ended in the first round

She reached R128 in 12 of her 19 tournaments, meaning nearly two-thirds of her Slam entries ended there. That pattern dominates the record, with only six R64 finishes and one result beyond that.

Her strongest stretch was 1992-1994

From 1992 through 1994, she posted six straight results at R64 or better: two R64s at the 1992 majors, one R64 at the 1993 US Open, one R64 at the 1994 Australian Open, and no worse than R128 in the others. This is the only sustained run in the table with repeated second-round-level results.

She was most active at the majors in 1992 and 1993

Those two seasons account for seven of her 19 Slam tournaments, the highest yearly total in the dataset. In 1992 she played all four majors, and in 1993 she appeared at three.

Her career was split into two distinct phases

The Grand Slam record runs from 1989-1994, then resumes only in 1997-1998. That gap is visible in the results table, which has no entries for 1995 or 1996.
