From 1971 through 1976, she won six majors and reached the final in every other Grand Slam appearance listed in that span except the 1972 US Open, where she reached the round of 16. That run includes 10 finals or titles across 13 entries.

Wimbledon was her most sustained major

At Wimbledon she reached at least the semifinals in five straight appearances from 1971 to 1979: champion in 1971, finalist in 1972, semifinalist in 1973, quarterfinalist in 1974, finalist in 1975 and 1976, semifinalist in 1978 and 1979, then champion again in 1980.
