Best runs came at Roland Garros

Her strongest Grand Slam showings were three Round-of-16 finishes, all at the French Open in 1976, 1978, and 1980. No other major produced a result better than R32.

Wimbledon was her most frequent stage

She played Wimbledon seven times, more than any other Slam in the table. Those appearances produced one R16, two R64s, and four R128 exits, showing a long but mostly early-round Wimbledon record.

Peak results clustered at ages 19 to 23

Her three R16 runs all came between ages 19 and 23, with the first at 19 and the last at 23. Across the same span, she also reached R32 twice and R64 four times, indicating her best stretch was concentrated in her early twenties.

Strongest season was 1976

In 1976 she reached the French Open R16, the US Open R64, and Wimbledon R128. That was her only season with three Slam appearances and her only year with a top-16 result outside Wimbledon.

Career ended with a sharp drop in 1980

Her final two Slam results were a French Open R32 and a US Open R128, both at age 23. That followed a 1979 season of two R64 finishes, so the closing phase was a clear step down from her earlier peak.
