French Open was her strongest Slam

Her best Grand Slam result was the French Open round of 16 in 1986, and that event also produced her only round-of-32 and round-of-64 finishes there. Across eight French Open appearances, she reached at least the third round three times.

Wimbledon was the clearest late-career peak

Her best Wimbledon result came in 1991, when she reached the round of 32 at age 23. That was a clear step beyond her earlier Wimbledon results of R128 in 1986, 1988, and 1992, and R64 in 1987 and 1990.

Her best season came in 1987-1988

The strongest cluster in her Slam results runs from 1987 to 1988: she reached R32 at the French Open in 1987, then R64 at Wimbledon and the US Open in 1987, and followed with R64 at the French Open and US Open in 1988. That stretch contains four of her six best finishes.

She peaked early, then mostly settled into first-round exits

After reaching R16 at age 18 in 1986 and R32 at age 19 in 1987, most of her later Slam results were R64 or R128. From 1989 through 1994, she never advanced beyond the round of 64.

Her Slam schedule was uneven, with a full three-event year only once

She played 22 Grand Slam tournaments and 37 matches, but only in 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, and 1992 did she appear at three Slams in a season. The record shows no Australian Open results at all, and her career ended with back-to-back French Open appearances in 1993 and 1994.
