Four Grand Slam titles, all before age 25

Mandlíková won four majors in the data: French Open 1981, Australian Open 1980 and 1987, and US Open 1985. Each title came between ages 18 and 24, showing an early and sustained peak.

She reached at least one semifinal in six different seasons

The results table shows semifinal runs in 1980, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1987. That six-season span is the broadest concentration of deep runs in her career, with no semifinal appearances listed after 1987.

1980-1986 was her dominant seven-year stretch

Across those seven seasons, she produced all four titles plus four runner-up finishes: 1980 US Open, 1981 Wimbledon, 1982 US Open, and 1986 Wimbledon. In that same span she never fell below the quarterfinal stage except for the 1985 Wimbledon and French Open results.

Her best season by breadth was 1985

In 1985 she reached the Australian Open semifinal, won the US Open, and also posted a Wimbledon R32 and French Open quarterfinal. That is the only season in the table with a title plus three additional appearances all inside the same year.

Her career ended with a sharp drop after 1987

After winning the 1987 Australian Open, her next listed results were US Open R16 and French Open R64 in 1987, then only R32 at the 1988 Australian Open, R64 at French Open and R32 at Wimbledon in 1988, and no result beyond R16 in 1989-1990.
