Peak came in 1976: two Grand Slam finals at age 21

Her strongest season in the data is 1976, when she reached the French Open final and the Australian Open final, both at age 21. No other year shows more than one final.

1979 was her deepest all-around season

In 1979 she made the Australian Open semifinal and the French Open quarterfinal, while also reaching the US Open round of 64 and Wimbledon round of 128. That is the only year with both a semifinal and a quarterfinal.

She was consistently a second-week threat in the mid-1970s

From 1973 through 1979, she reached at least the round of 32 or better in 15 of 19 recorded tournaments. The stretch includes finals in 1976, quarterfinals in 1977-1979, and a round-of-16 result at the 1975 French Open.

Her late-career results dropped sharply after 1980

After reaching the US Open round of 16 in 1980, she never advanced beyond the round of 64 again. In 1982 and 1983, every recorded result was round of 64 or worse, including three first-round exits in 1983.

Wimbledon and the US Open were her weakest majors by the end

Her best Wimbledon result was only the round of 32, achieved four times, and her best US Open result was the round of 16 in 1980. By contrast, the French Open and Australian Open produced all of her finals and her semifinal.
