Peak result came at Wimbledon in 1980 and 1982

Harford’s best Grand Slam showing was R32, reached twice: Wimbledon in 1980 at age 21 and again in 1982 at age 23. Those are her only appearances beyond the R64 stage.

Wimbledon was her strongest major overall

Across six Wimbledon entries, she produced one R32, three R64s, and only two R128 exits. That is a better distribution than her US Open record, which includes three R128 losses and only one R32.

Her career was concentrated in a short six-year span

All 16 Grand Slam appearances came between 1977 and 1982, with no results listed outside that window. She played 29 matches in total over that span, finishing 13-16.

She peaked early, with her best run at age 21

Born on 28 November 1958, Harford reached her top Grand Slam round, R32, at Wimbledon in 1980 when she was 21. Her other R32 came two years later at age 23, showing no later-career breakthrough beyond that level.

Her results were strongest in the middle of the career arc

After a first-round-level R128 result at the 1977 US Open, she improved to R64 or better in five of the next six Grand Slam appearances through 1980. The sequence then softened again, with three R128 results among her final six entries.
