Insights
Peak came in 1977
Her best Grand Slam result was a quarterfinal at the 1977 Australian Open (December) at age 28. That was her only result beyond the round of 16, and it stands out as the clear high point of her 16-tournament career.
Strongest stretch was 1972-1974
From 1972 through 1974, she reached at least the round of 32 in every Slam she entered, including two round-of-16 finishes in 1972 and another in 1974. This three-year run produced her most consistent early-career results.
Wimbledon was her best recurring stage
Wimbledon produced her two deepest runs after the quarterfinal: a round of 16 in 1974 and a round of 32 in 1973 and 1976. Across four Wimbledon appearances, she never fell earlier than the round of 64.
US Open was her most frequent Slam
She played the US Open six times, more than any other Slam listed. Her results there ranged from a round of 64 in 1971, 1974, and 1978 to a round of 16 in 1977, showing both volume and her best non-quarterfinal finish.
Career ended with a late decline
After reaching the round of 16 at the 1977 US Open and the quarterfinal in Australia, her final recorded Slam was a first-round exit at the 1976 US Open followed by a round of 64 at Wimbledon in 1978. The last two entries show a clear drop from her peak level.
