Peak came early and was concentrated in 1976-1980

Her three best Grand Slam results were all reached before age 25: R16 at Wimbledon in 1976 and 1977, and R16 again at Wimbledon in 1980. That span also includes her strongest run of deeper finishes, with R32 or better in five of those six appearances.

Wimbledon was clearly her best major

Across Wimbledon she produced her top result three times, plus one R32 and two R128 exits. By contrast, her French Open record never got beyond R128, and her US Open best was only R16, showing a clear surface-by-event split in the results.

US Open was her most frequent stage

She appeared at the US Open 10 times, more than any other Slam in the table, and collected 11 of her 45 total matches there. Those US Open runs produced her only R16 outside Wimbledon and her only R32 at age 27 in 1983.

Late-career decline was sharp after 1983

After reaching R32 at the 1983 US Open, every listed Slam result from 1984 through 1987 was R64 or worse, including five straight R128 exits in 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1987. That marks a clear drop from her earlier peak years.

Her Grand Slam career was long but narrowly balanced

Over 23 tournaments and 45 matches, she finished 22-23, a near-even record that still left her just under .500 at 49% won. The balance is notable because her best results were limited to three R16s, with no quarterfinals or better.
