Peak Slam run came in 2017-18

Her best-results line shows one title, one final, and one semifinal, and those peaks cluster tightly: the title at the 2017 US Open, the final at the 2018 French Open, and the semifinal at the 2013 Australian Open.

US Open is her strongest major by volume and ceiling

Across 14 US Open appearances, she reached the title match twice and the quarterfinal stage or better three times: champion in 2017, finalist in 2018, and round of 16 in 2013 and 2014. No other Slam matches that combination of depth and frequency.

French Open produced her most sustained deep-run stretch

From 2012 through 2023, she reached at least the round of 16 at Roland Garros six times, including the 2018 final and 2023 round of 16. That makes the French Open her most repeatable source of second-week results.

Her career has a clear age-based arc

She reached her first Slam semifinal at age 19 in 2013, won the US Open at 24 in 2017, and then posted her best post-title result with the 2018 French Open final at 25. Since age 28, her results have mostly stayed between the round of 32 and round of 128.

Recent Slams show a sharp drop from peak consistency

In 2021 she reached the round of 16 or better at three of four majors, but in 2022-26 she has not advanced beyond the round of 64. The sequence includes a 2022 French Open quarterfinal, followed by mostly early exits through 2026.
