It was her second US Open singles title and eleventh major singles title overall. The victory marked Navratilova's sixth consecutive major singles title, tying Margaret Court and Maureen Connolly's all-time record. She became the first player to win the Surface Slam (winning majors on clay, grass, and hardcourt in the same year), having won the French Open and Wimbledon Championships. The final is considered one of the best matches in US Open history.Kaplan James 2014-08-20 A U.S. Open to Remember: Navratilova and Evert Look Back en-US The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/24/magazine/a-us-open-to-remember-navratilova-and-evert-look-back.html 2023-08-27 0362-4331 This marked the first major appearance of future champion Gabriela Sabatini; she was defeated in the third round by Helena Suková.
