Peak came in 1987-1989

Lindqvist’s two semifinal runs were clustered in 1987 Australian Open and 1989 Wimbledon, with a quarterfinal at 1989 Australian Open and another quarterfinal at 1986 Wimbledon. That four-event peak produced her best Grand Slam stretch.

Wimbledon was her strongest major

Across Wimbledon she reached the semifinals once, the quarterfinals once, and the round of 16 twice. No other Slam shows that combination of depth and repeated progress in the supplied results.

Australian Open delivered her best early breakthrough

Her first major deep run was the 1985 Australian Open quarterfinal at age 22, followed by the 1987 semifinal and the 1988 round of 16. That sequence shows her strongest progression at one event before the late-career decline.

Results fell sharply after age 26

From age 23 to 26 she produced both semifinals, both quarterfinals, and multiple round-of-16 finishes. After age 27, her best result was only the 1991 Wimbledon round of 16, with the rest mostly first- or second-round exits.

Her career was broad but top-heavy in the middle years

She played 36 Grand Slam tournaments and 91 matches, finishing 55-36 for a 60% win rate. The record is built on a middle stretch of repeated second-week appearances, while the opening and closing years contain mostly early exits.
