Her peak came at Wimbledon in 1984

Carina Karlsson’s best Grand Slam result was a quarterfinal at Wimbledon in 1984, when she was 20. That is her only result beyond the round of 16, making it the clear high point of her 15-tournament career.

1984 was her strongest season by far

She played four Grand Slams in 1984 and reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, plus the round of 64 in Australia. The other two majors that year ended in the round of 128, so 1984 produced her deepest run and her best overall seasonal spread.

French Open was her most productive major

Across five French Open appearances, she reached the round of 16 once in 1987 and the round of 64 once in 1985, with three other exits in the round of 128. No other Slam gave her both a second-week result and multiple wins in the same event.

Her results clustered in the early-to-mid 20s

Every recorded Grand Slam match came between ages 19 and 23. She was 19 in her first listed major in 1983 and 23 in all three of her 1987 appearances, showing a very compact Grand Slam span.

She finished with a 26-match, 11-win Grand Slam record

Over 15 tournaments, Karlsson compiled an 11-15 record, which is listed as 42% won. That means she won fewer than half her matches, but still produced one quarterfinal and one round-of-16 result among mostly early exits.
