Peak Grand Slam run came in 2009

Her best season by round reached was 2009, when she made the Australian Open round of 16 and also reached the round of 32 at Wimbledon. That year stands out as her only Grand Slam campaign with a second-week appearance.

Australian Open was her strongest major overall

Across the four majors, the Australian Open produced her best results most often: one R16, two R32s, two R64s, and four R128s. It is also the only Slam where she reached the round of 16.

Late-career decline was abrupt

From 2011 through 2014, she never advanced beyond the round of 32 and finished with four straight first-round exits in 2013 and 2014. That closing stretch contrasts sharply with 2009-2012, when she still reached at least the round of 64 in multiple events.

Her most productive stretch was 2004-2009

Between 2004 and 2009, she recorded all 43 of her Grand Slam match wins and every one of her three round-of-16 results. The data show no wins outside that six-year span, making it the clear core of her Slam career.

Career totals were close to even, but slightly below .500

She played 47 Grand Slam tournaments and 90 matches, finishing with a 43-47 record, which is listed as 48% won. That means her wins and losses were nearly balanced, but losses still outnumbered wins by four.
