French Open was her clear peak stage

Her three semifinal runs all came at the French Open, in 1977, 1978, and 1979. That tournament also produced her best non-semifinal result, a quarterfinal in 1976, making it the only Slam where she repeatedly reached the late rounds.

She peaked in a tight three-year window

From 1977 through 1979, she reached at least the round of 16 at every Slam appearance listed, including three straight French Open semifinals. Across those three seasons she also posted R16 results at the Australian Open, US Open, and Wimbledon, showing her strongest stretch was concentrated early.

Her career had two distinct phases with a long gap

The Grand Slam record runs from 1974, then 1976-1981, and resumes in 1985-1989, leaving no listed Slam results for 1975 or 1982-1984. The later phase is much shallower: after 1981, she never advanced beyond the round of 32.

Longevity without a late-round return after age 22

Her best result after age 22 was only the round of 32, achieved at the 1986 French Open at age 27. By ages 28-30, every listed Slam result was R128 or R64, indicating a clear decline from her early-20s level.

Strong overall record built on consistency, not titles

She played 31 Grand Slam tournaments and 82 matches, finishing 51-31 for a 62% win rate. The result profile is broad rather than title-driven: 3 semifinals, 1 quarterfinal, and 5 round-of-16 finishes.
