  • Only results in WTA Tour (incl. Grand Slams) main-draw, Olympic Games and Fed Cup are included in win–loss records.
  • Graf retired in August 1999 while ranked world No. 3, She was not included in the official year end ranking.
  1. ^ Tennis was a demonstration sport during the 1984 Olympic Games. (not considered in win–loss records)
  2. ^ Graf defaulted before the 1997 final of this tournament, which is classified as a walkover and, therefore, does not count as a loss on her official record.
