Peak came in a single Australian Open run

Her best Grand Slam result was one semifinal, and it came at the 1990 Australian Open at age 21. That is also her only result beyond the quarterfinal stage, making that event the clear high-water mark of her Slam career.

Only two seasons produced top-tier runs

She reached her other standout results in 1988 and 1993: a quarterfinal at the 1988 Australian Open and a round of 16 at the 1993 Australian Open. No other Slam appearance in the data matches or exceeds those levels.

Australian Open was her strongest major

Across her career, the Australian Open produced her best spread of results: Q in 1988, S in 1990, R64 in 1991, R128 in 1992, and R16 in 1993. That sequence is stronger than her French Open, Wimbledon, or US Open records.

1993 was her most productive Slam year

In 1993 she played all four majors and posted her best annual Grand Slam total: R16 at the Australian Open, plus R128 at the French Open and US Open, and R64 at Wimbledon. It was her only season with a second-week appearance.

Career split into two distinct phases

Her Slam career ran from 1986-1993, then resumed in 1995-1996 after a one-year gap in 1994. The later phase was shorter and weaker, with only R128 at Wimbledon in 1995 and R64/R128 in 1996.
