Peak came early, with a lone Round of 16 in 1982

Her best Grand Slam result was one R16, achieved at the 1982 US Open at age 19. Every other listed Slam run ended in R64 or R128, so that was her clear high-water mark.

1984 was her strongest season by depth across multiple Slams

In 1984 she reached R64 three times: Australian Open, US Open, and French Open. That was her only year with three results at the same round or better, and it came while she was 21-22.

She played all four majors in 1987, but only one match run improved beyond the opening round

In 1987 she entered the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. Three of those ended in R128, while the Australian Open reached R64, making it her most complete Slam season by tournament count.

Her Grand Slam career was front-loaded, then tapered to shorter runs

From 1981 through 1984 she produced her only R16 and most of her R64 results. After 1984, every listed Slam result was R128 except the 1987 Australian Open R64, showing a clear decline in depth.

She was a frequent Slam entrant but rarely converted starts into wins

Across 22 tournaments and 33 matches, her record was 11-22, a 33% win rate. The distribution of results—13 R128s, 8 R64s, and 1 R16—shows that most appearances ended before the third round.
