Peak Grand Slam run centered on 1990-1992

Her strongest three-year stretch is visible in the results table: 1990 brought a title at the US Open and a semifinal at Wimbledon, while 1991 and 1992 each added three more semifinal-or-better finishes. That span contains her only championship and both of her finals.

Australian Open was her most consistent major

Across the Australian Open rows, she reached at least the semifinal stage five times: 1989, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1996. No other Slam shows that many semifinal appearances in the supplied data.

Wimbledon produced both her highest and one of her lowest points

Wimbledon includes her lone final in 1991 and a semifinal in 1990, but also early exits in 1989 (R64) and 1995 (Q). The spread from final to quarterfinal-round exit shows the widest volatility among her four majors.

She was already a Slam semifinalist as a teenager

Her first semifinal came at the 1985 French Open at age 15, and she repeated that level at Wimbledon and the US Open in 1986 at age 16. By age 18 in 1988, she had already reached a final at the US Open.

Late-career decline was abrupt after 1995

In 1995 she still reached the US Open semifinal and two quarterfinals, but by 1996 her results dropped to the Australian Open round of 16 and the US Open round of 32. That is a clear step down from the previous season’s deep runs.
