Notably, despite how even their rivalry was, the age difference between Navratilova and Graf is nearly 13 years.
1 Navratilova to win her first Grand Slam title with a scoreline of 6–4, 4–6, 8–6 in what was considered a changing of the guard.
[5] Graf overcame a 3–5 deficit in the final set to eventually win it 8–6.
Graf's win is considered by many as the best performance ever of a female tennis player.
1 Graf in an epic, winning with a score line of 7–6(7–2), 6–7(6–8), 6–4, in what is considered one of the greatest matches in US Open history.
