Two fourth-round runs define the peak

Her best Grand Slam results were two R16 finishes, both at the Australian Open in 2011 and 2012. Across 42 tournaments and 66 matches, she never advanced beyond that stage.

Australian Open was clearly her strongest major

She reached at least the R64 in 10 of 11 Australian Open appearances, including R32 in 2006, R64 in 2007, 2009 and 2010, and R16 in 2011 and 2012. Her only Australian Open result below R64 was R128 in 2003.

French Open produced her deepest spread of results

Her French Open record ranges from R128 to R16: R64 in 2002, R128 in 2003, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2011 and 2012, R32 in 2008 and 2009, and R16 in 2012. That mix shows both her best and most frequent outcomes at one event.

Late-career decline was abrupt after 2011

In 2011 she posted two R16 results and one R64, but in 2012 she went out in R128 at three of four majors, with only the Australian Open reaching R16. Her lone 2014 appearance also ended at R128.

Her Grand Slam career was long but mostly early-round

From 2002 to 2014, she played 42 majors and won 24 of 66 matches, a 36% success rate. The result distribution is heavily weighted to early exits: 12 R64s, 3 R32s, and 21 R128s, versus only 2 R16s.
