1995 WTA Tour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steffi Graf finished the year as world No. 1 for the record-equaling seventh time in her career, tying Martina Navratilova's achievement. She won nine tournaments during the season, including three majors at the French Open, the Wimbledon Championships, and the US Open, as well as the WTA Tour Championships. She also won two Tier I events.
Monica Seles also finished the year as world No. 1 for the third time in her career, being granted the ranking on a protected status as part of her return from her 1993 stabbing. She won one tournament during the season, a Tier I event, and finished runner-up at a major at the US Open.
