information Titles won by player These tables present the number of singles (S), doubles (D), and mixed doubles (X) titles won by each player and each nation during the season, within all the tournament categories of the 1985 Virginia Slims World Championship Series: the Grand Slam tournaments, the Year-end championships and regular events. The players/nations are sorted by: total number of titles (a doubles title won by two players representing the same nation counts as only one win for the nation); highest amount of highest category tournaments (for example, having a single Grand Slam gives preference over any kind of combination without a Grand Slam title); a singles > doubles > mixed doubles hierarchy; alphabetical order (by family names for players).
