Peak came at the 1979 US Open

Her best Grand Slam result was a round of 16 at the 1979 US Open, achieved at age 20. That was her only result better than the round of 32 across 15 tournaments.

Strongest stretch was 1979-1981

From 1979 through 1981, she reached at least the round of 32 in six of eight appearances, including two round-of-32 finishes in 1981. This was the clearest sustained run in her Grand Slam record.

Wimbledon was her most productive major

Wimbledon produced her deepest run after the US Open peak, with round-of-32 finishes in 1980 and 1981 and a round-of-64 result in 1979. Across four Wimbledon appearances, she never fell below the first round.

Australian Open results were consistently modest

She played the Australian Open four times, and every result was a round of 64. That makes it her most uniform Grand Slam pattern, with no advance beyond the third round.

Career ended with a sharp drop in 1984

After reaching the round of 64 at both the 1982 and 1983 Australian Opens, she closed with a round-of-128 loss at Wimbledon in 1984 at age 25. That was her only first-round exit in the dataset.
