Pennetta, Bartoli?
Pennetta - No - made 5 quarters, and a semis in addition to her US Open title.
Bartoli - No - remember that Bartoli lost a Wimbledon final to Venus Williams years before she won her title - also make 3 quarters, and a semi.

Yes. Gaudio is the only man in the open era to win a Grand Slam without making at least one QF or better at another major.
Two left - both women who won the Australian Open.

Before my time at least. I went back through a list of winners and got to the first one I didn't know (Mandilkova - 87) and it wasn't them.
Looks like it's a couple of women from 70's but will let others guess.

Chris O’Neil and Barbara Jordan (but I had to look up a list of AO winners to come up with them).

There we have it - so the five players to win a Grand Slam title, and not reach another quarter or better at any other Grand Slam event are Barbara, Jordan, Chris O'Neill, Gaston Gaudio, Bianca Andreescu, and Emma Raducanu. Andreescu, and Raducanu still have time to remove themselves from this list.

Ok. A simple stat.
Most QF's at slams? Or most 4R?
Giving up the answer since nobody tries anymore ((
The answer is - the most matches won in player's least successful grand slam.
1) Djokovic: 90
2) Federer: 73
3) Nadal: 58
4) Lendl: 48
5) Agassi: 46
6) Murray: 39
7) Cilic: 31
8) Edberg: 30
9-10) Hewitt and Ferrer: 28

I had forgotten this one. Sorry.
I will only say: a very interesting stat. But it was not THAT easy
