Insights
Best run came at Wimbledon and the US Open
Her deepest Grand Slam results were two R32 finishes at Wimbledon and two at the US Open, plus one R32 at the French Open. Across 26 tournaments, she never advanced beyond the round of 32.
Peak results clustered in 1973-1974 and again in 1980-1982
She reached R32 four times in total, with the first two coming in 1973-1974 and the other two in 1980-1982. That shows two separate performance peaks rather than one continuous stretch.
US Open was by far her most frequent stage
She played the US Open 11 times, compared with 7 French Opens, 5 Wimbledons, and 1 Australian Open. That heavy US Open concentration accounts for nearly half of her 26 Grand Slam appearances.
Her longest uninterrupted Grand Slam run was 1977-1984
After missing 1976, she appeared in every Grand Slam year from 1977 through 1984. That eight-year span produced 20 of her 26 tournaments and all but two of her total matches.
Late-career results held up better than the raw finish positions suggest
At ages 29-31, she still reached R32 twice and R64 four times, including R32 at both the US Open and Wimbledon in 1982. Even in her final two listed years, she remained competitive enough to avoid first-round exits.
