During her career Mappin competed at all four Grand Slam tournaments. Her best singles performance was reaching the third round at the 1974 US Open and the 1977 French Open. At Wimbledon she reached the second round on five occasions (1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1978). The second round was also her best result at the Australian Open which she achieved in 1975.

In the Grand Slam doubles competition Mappin made it to the semifinals on three occasions; at the French Open in 1977 and at Wimbledon in 1976 and 1977, each time partnering compatriot Lesley Charles.
