Laura Granville

Insights

Her two best Slam runs both came at Wimbledon and the US Open

Granville’s top result was R16, reached twice: at the 2002 Wimbledon and the 2007 Wimbledon. Her next-best finish was R32, which she hit five times, showing that her deepest runs were concentrated in just two tournaments.

2007 was her peak Slam season by far

She posted her best yearly spread in 2007: R16 at Wimbledon, plus R64 at the US Open, R64 at the Australian Open, and R128 at the French Open. That was the only season in the data with a quarter of her Slam appearances producing a second-week result.

Wimbledon was clearly her strongest major

Across the data, Wimbledon produced her best and most frequent high-end results: R16 in 2002 and 2007, plus R32 in 2003 and R64 in 2005 and 2006. By contrast, the French Open never got beyond R32.

Her Slam career was split into two distinct phases

Granville’s Grand Slam appearances run from 1998-1999 and then 2001-2009, with no results listed for 2000. The early phase is brief and modest, while the later stretch contains all of her deeper runs, including both R16 finishes.

She was most productive in her mid-20s

Her best results came at ages 21 to 26, with the two R16 finishes at ages 21 and 26. Her final Slam result, a 2009 US Open R128, came at age 28, after the peak years had already passed.
