Australian Open is the only Slam where she has gone beyond the opening round

Her best result is R32, and it came at the Australian Open in 2019 at age 20. Every other Slam appearance in the data ends at R64 or R128, so that run stands alone as her deepest major.

Her Grand Slam record is heavily concentrated at the Australian Open

Of 16 Slam tournaments, 7 are Australian Opens, compared with 3 US Opens, 3 French Opens, and 3 Wimbledons. That concentration also drives her only R32 and her only two R64 results at the event.

She has improved sharply in the 2020s after a long early gap

After appearances in 2016 and 2019, she returned in 2021 and then played every Slam from 2023 through 2026. The results also trend upward late: 2026 produced three R64 finishes, her best season-wide Slam output in the table.

Her best stretch came in 2023-2026, when she repeatedly reached R128 or better

From 2023 onward, she posted one R64 in 2023, then four straight R128 results in 2024 and 2025, before three R64s in 2026. That sequence is much stronger than the earlier pattern of a single R32 and otherwise R128 exits.

She has a modest overall Slam win rate despite the late uptick

Across 22 matches, her record is 6-16, which the table converts to 27% won. The six wins are enough for only one R32 and four R64 finishes, showing that most runs still ended in the first round.
