¹ The crowd of 7,000 booed when a tiebreak was announced at 12–12. Both King and Jones refused to play a tiebreak, and a happy crowd got its money's worth. King got a standing ovation when she won the 17–15 set.
² This was the first important clay court title of King's career.
³ With this tournament championship, King became the first woman ever to win more than U.S.$100,000 in prize money during a calendar year.
⁴ This victory snapped Gunter's 13-match winning streak on indoor clay courts.
