Peak came early, with a French Open final at 17

Zvereva’s best Grand Slam result was the 1988 French Open final, reached at age 17. That stands out as her only final, and it came just one year into the listed Grand Slam career.

Wimbledon 1998 was her deepest run after the early peak

Her only semifinal came at Wimbledon in 1998, when she was 27. Across the rest of the record, her best finishes were six quarterfinals, so this was the lone step beyond that level.

Most of her Slam volume clustered in the 1990s

She played 52 Grand Slam tournaments in total, with results listed from 1987 through 2002. The record shows a continuous run from 1987 to 2000, then a single return in 2002.

She was consistently competitive, but rarely beyond the second week

Her overall Grand Slam record was 105-52, a 67% win rate over 157 matches. Yet the results table shows only eight appearances at quarterfinal-or-better level: six quarterfinals, one semifinal, and one final.

Her late-career results fell sharply after 1998

After the 1998 Wimbledon semifinal, she did not reach the quarterfinals again. From 1999 to 2002, her best result was the 2000 French Open round of 16, followed by mostly round-of-64 or earlier exits.
