Peak came in 2003

Her only quarterfinal run was at Wimbledon in 2003, when she was 31. That season also included R32 at the French Open and R64 at both the Australian Open and US Open, making it her strongest Grand Slam year by depth.

Best results were spread across all four majors

She reached at least the round of 16 at every Slam: Australian Open and French Open twice each, Wimbledon once, and the US Open once. The best-results summary shows 1 quarterfinal, 6 round-of-16 finishes, and 14 round-of-32 finishes.

Late-career surge after age 29

From age 29 through 33, she produced most of her deepest runs, including all six round-of-16 appearances and the quarterfinal. In that span she also reached the round of 32 nine times, showing a clear late-career concentration of her best Slam results.

Australian Open and French Open were her most productive majors

She reached the round of 16 twice at both the Australian Open and French Open, more than at Wimbledon or the US Open. Her Australian Open results also include two round-of-32 finishes, while the French Open adds four round-of-32 finishes.

Career ended with a sharp drop in 2005

After reaching the round of 16 at the Australian Open in 2005, her remaining three Slam results that year were all earlier exits: R32 at Wimbledon and the French Open, and R128 at the US Open. That contrasts with the stronger 2002-2004 stretch immediately before it.
