Insights

Peak result came in 1994 at Roland Garros

Stafford’s only Round of 16 appearance was the 1994 French Open, when she was 25. That stands alone as her best Grand Slam result across 30 tournaments and 56 matches.

1993-1995 was her strongest three-year stretch

She reached at least the Round of 64 in all four majors in 1993, then improved to a Round of 16 and a Round of 32 in 1994, and added a Round of 32 at Wimbledon in 1995. Those three seasons contain all of her deepest runs.

Australian Open and French Open were her most productive majors

Her best Australian Open result was Round of 64, achieved in 1995, while her best French Open result was the Round of 16 in 1994. By contrast, Wimbledon and the US Open topped out at Round of 32.

She finished with back-to-back first-round exits in 1996

Her final two Grand Slam appearances were both Round of 128 losses, at the Australian Open and French Open in 1996, both at age 27. That marked a clear drop from the Round of 32 and Round of 64 results she had posted earlier.

Her career was steady but rarely explosive

Across 30 tournaments, Stafford compiled a 26-30 record, winning 46% of her matches. She reached the Round of 32 eight times and the Round of 64 seven times, showing frequent mid-round presence but only one breakthrough beyond that.
