Insights

Peak Slam run came in 1989

Her best Grand Slam results were two quarterfinals, both in 1989: Wimbledon and the US Open. That was the only season in the data where she reached the last eight at more than one major.

Strongest stretch was 1982-1987

From 1982 through 1987, she reached at least the round of 32 in every season shown, including four round-of-16 finishes and the 1989 quarterfinals just after that span. This is the clearest sustained competitive run in her record.

Australian Open was her most productive major

Her Australian Open results include two round-of-16 finishes, two round-of-32 finishes, and several round-of-64 showings. No other Slam produced as many deep runs in the table.

Late-career results held up into her mid-30s

Her final listed appearance came at Wimbledon in 1995 at age 34, where she still reached the round of 64. In 1993, at age 32, she also made the round of 32 at the French Open.

Career volume and efficiency were substantial

Across 54 Grand Slam tournaments, she played 122 matches and won 68, a 56% win rate. That places her #221 among 1,956 women in the Open Era and #87 among 652 with overlapping careers.
