Insights

Peak came in 1998-2001, with two quarterfinals and four straight R16 seasons

Her best Grand Slam results were two quarterfinals, in 1997 and 1998, and she then reached at least the round of 16 in each of the next four seasons from 1998 through 2001. That stretch produced most of her 68 match wins.

Australian Open was her strongest major by deep runs

She reached the Australian Open quarterfinals in 1998 and the round of 16 in 1994, 1995, 1999, and 2000. Across the other majors, her best result was only the round of 16.

French Open was both her longest-running and most uneven event

Her Grand Slam career began at the French Open in 1990 and ended there in 2004, and she played it in more years than any other major. The results ranged from two R128 exits early on to three straight R16 finishes from 1998 to 2001.

Her late-career decline was abrupt after 2001

In 2001 she reached the round of 16 at all four majors, but in 2002 she fell to R128 at the Australian Open and French Open, and R64 at Wimbledon. Her final recorded Slam in 2004 was another R128 at Roland Garros.

She was still producing notable results in her late 20s

Her two quarterfinals came at ages 25 and 26, and she also reached the round of 16 at age 29 in all four majors in 2001. Her last appearance came at age 32 in 2004.
