French Open peak defined her career

Her only Grand Slam title came at the French Open in 2010, and that same event produced her only final in 2011. Across the 70 tournaments listed, the French Open is also where she reached her deepest run most often.

Best results clustered on clay and at Roland Garros

She reached five quarterfinals overall, and two of them were at the French Open in 2010 and 2011. Her other quarterfinals came at the Australian Open in 2011, Wimbledon in 2009, and the US Open in 2010.

Late-career consistency gave way to a sharp drop

From 2010 through 2013 she repeatedly reached at least the round of 16 in multiple Slams, including the 2011 final and 2012 Wimbledon round of 16. From 2014 through 2018, however, she never advanced beyond the round of 128 except for Wimbledon round of 64 in 2016 and 2017.

Her strongest stretch came between ages 29 and 32

At age 29 in 2010 she won the French Open and reached the US Open quarterfinals. She then added the 2011 French Open final at 30, the 2012 Wimbledon round of 16 at 32, and the 2013 French Open round of 16 at 32.

Longevity with a positive Grand Slam record

She played 174 Grand Slam matches across 70 tournaments from 2000 to 2018, finishing with a 105-69 record. That 60% win rate is supported by a career that produced far more wins than losses over nearly two decades.
