French Open was the center of her Grand Slam career

Six of her seven recorded Grand Slam results came at the French Open, with only one Wimbledon appearance. Her entire run spans 1946, 1948-1949, 1951, and 1953-1954, but every result except one was in Paris.

She peaked with the title in 1948

Her best result was a championship at the 1948 French Open at age 31. That season stands out as her only Grand Slam victory and the highest point in a career that otherwise reached one final and one semifinal.

Late-career French Open surge ended with a semifinal

After a final in 1949, she returned to the French Open at ages 34, 36, and 37. The sequence shows a quarterfinal in 1951, another quarterfinal in 1953, and a semifinal in 1954, her last recorded Grand Slam result.

Her results show a clear rise, then a long tail

She moved from a quarterfinal in 1946 to a title in 1948 and a final in 1949, before settling into quarterfinal-level results in 1951 and 1953. The pattern ends with a semifinal in 1954, suggesting sustained competitiveness across nearly a decade.

Her Grand Slam career was compact but productive

The data lists 40 total matches across seven Grand Slam appearances. Within that relatively small sample, she produced three deep runs beyond the quarterfinals: one champion, one finalist, and one semifinalist.
