US OPEN 1977 Women’s Final - The Road to 18 Grand Slam Titles by Chris Evert

Chrissie’s 3rd straight US Open Title was the last time the tournament was played in Forest Hills at the West Side Tennis Club. It was bitter-sweet because it marked the end of an era where the event had a very intimate atmosphere between Players and Fans. Tennis was on the rise, the crowds were getting bigger and bigger and the Tournament was going to move to a larger and more professional arena located in Flushing Meadows, where it is still being played up until today.
