Insights
Best Grand Slam run came at 22, with a French Open round of 16
Tami Whitlinger’s top result in the data is one R16 finish, achieved at the 1991 French Open when she was 22. Her next-best outcomes were six R32s, showing that she reached the second week only once.
Her strongest stretch was 1990-1991
Across those two seasons she produced her deepest results: R32 at the 1990 Australian Open, R64 at Wimbledon, R16 at the 1991 French Open, and R64 at the Australian Open. That cluster stands out against the rest of her record, which is mostly R64 or earlier.
1994-1997 was a clear late-career slide
From 1994 through 1997, she never advanced beyond the round of 64. The sequence is especially stark in 1997, when all four majors ended at R128, after a 1996 season that still included two R32 finishes.
She was most productive at the US Open, but never repeated that peak elsewhere
Her best US Open result was R32 in 1989 and she also reached R64 in 1993 and R32 again in 1996. By contrast, her best at the Australian Open and Wimbledon was R32, and at the French Open it was the lone R16.
Her Grand Slam career was long but modest in volume
Whitlinger’s Grand Slam span runs from 1986 to 1997, with appearances in 34 tournaments and 58 matches. She finished 24-34 overall, a 41% win rate, which places her at #465 among women in the Open Era in the supplied comparison table.
