French Open was her most productive Slam

Her only Round of 32 result came at the French Open in 2002, and she also reached the Round of 64 there four other times: 2000, 2003, 2004, and 2012. Across the 40-tournament career, that makes Roland Garros her clear best venue by depth.

2004 was her peak Grand Slam season

In 2004 she reached the Round of 64 at all three events she played: Australian Open, French Open, and US Open. That was her only season with three Slam results at the same stage or better, and it came at age 23.

Her best run came early, then results flattened

After the 2002 Round of 32, she matched or exceeded Round of 64 only seven more times, with the last such result in 2013 at the Australian Open. From 2005 through 2015, most of her Slam exits were in the opening round.

She was a late-career regular, but rarely advanced

From 2005 to 2013 she appeared in 29 Grand Slam tournaments, yet only five of those runs reached the Round of 64 or better. The rest ended at Round of 128, showing volume without much progression.

Her career stretched from age 18 to 33

Her first recorded Slam result was the 1999 French Open at age 18, and her final one was the 2015 Australian Open at age 33. That 16-year span included 40 tournaments and 53 matches, but only 13 wins.
