After three thrilling sets. Seles steamrolled the fourth seeded former number one to claim her 10th title of the year
after reaching the final of all 16 tournaments she played.
Seles, who finished the year with an Impressive 74-6 record, picked up 250.000 dollars for her hard fought victory.

Navratilova, who won this tournament five times — the last time in 1986— will haw to wall until next year lo claim a record breaking I58lh career title."! played -my best tennis.
She just played belter, so well done," said the 35-year-old Navratilova, who picked up 120,000 dollars for her considerable efforts.
"I don't haw any right lo be out here al my age, but I'm still having a blast and I'm thrilled to be able to still compete with the top players in the world.
The first three sets were a true pleasure," she said lo a thundering ovalion from the crowd of more than 18,000 al Madison Square Garden.
The contest provided a classic match-up of the ageing, dominant player of the last decade against a sensational player half her age and the ap parent player of the 1990s — a servc-and-vollcyer against a baseline basher.
Seles, who won this event last year in a five-set epic against Gabriela Sabatini, whom she destroyed in this year's semifinals, said : "It wasn't easy but It was pretty easy to finish it off.
"Luckily this year It didn't go to a fifth set because I don't think 1 could have taken it. I'm so tired."
Navratilova, who used lo overpower her opponents eight or 10 years ago. had lo rely on her wits and finesse against the Yugoslav's raw
Time and again the crafty veteran played the angles or set up soft touch volleys to keep the pressure on Seles.
But Navratilova, the only player lo take a set this week from the top-ranked teen, would have to have played flawless tennis to prevail as Seles took advantage of nearly every opening by the fourth seed.
"She didn't give me too many second serves today, but whenever I needed my serve it was there," said Seles, winner of every major tournament but Wimbledon this year. *
A couple of key points made the diflcrcncc in the first set as both players served cx-
trcmcly well with Navratilova ending her first four service games with aces.
Seles reached the first break point in the ninth game of the Iwo-hour clght-mlnutc match.
Navratilova appeared lo have averted disaster with what seemed like a sure forehand put-away. But Seles not only retrieved It, but whipped a backhand crosscourt winner for the break and served out the set.
The second set was |usl as
NAVRATILOVA tight and filled with thrilling points to the delight of the crowd that was solidly behind Navratilova, the sentimental favourite.
Navratilova, who finished the year by reaching five successive finals Including the US Open which she lost to Seles, fought off a break point In the fifth game and three more in the seventh.
When the nine-lime Wimbk-don winner finally held that seventh game with yet another ace, the crowd went wild.
Navratilova scored her first break of the match in the next game- to lead 5-3 and levelled
the match with some brilliant serving in the next game.
Seles, who wore an intense game face and rarely displayed emotion, rolled to a 3-0 lead in the pivotal third set.
By contrast, Navratilova appeared lo be thoroughly enjoying herself and often broke into a broad grin — even after blowing the occasional volley.
Undaunted by the deficit. Navratilova, who won the 16-player season final four successive time in the mid-1980s, reeled off the next three games to level it 3-3.
Seles then seemed lo pul a little something extra on her passing shots and Navratilova repeatedly found herself lunging for volley attempts lo no avail.
Td gel up 30-love or 40-15 and still lost the game because she hit four winners," Navratilova said
“You can't relax for one second with her. She is very, very mentally lough."
Seles broke at love in the eighth game with a forehand pass that ticked off Navratilova's racket and found herself serving for the set at 5-3.
Navratilova broke right back, however, and when she held fqr 5-5 with an overhead smash the crowd again roared.
But Seles immediately seized back the momentum. She held for 6-5 and avoided a tiebreak by breaking Navratilova for the third time in the set.
Navratilova quickly fell behind 0-40 and saved two break points with an ace and a sharply-angk-d forehand volley
But Seles drilled a forehand service return down the line to lake the set 7-5 and then rolled through the third scl without losing a game.
"I had a little let-down tn the beginning of the fourth act and she jumped all over me." Navratilova said. "I hit good serves exactly where I wanted and she just nulled It."
