1990 WTA Tour
The 1990 WTA Tour (officially titled 1990 Kraft General Foods World Tour after its sponsor) was the elite professional tennis circuit organized by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) for the 1990 tennis season. The 1990 WTA Tour calendar comprised the four Grand Slam tournaments, the WTA Tour Championships and the WTA Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, Tier IV and Tier V events. ITF tournaments were not part of the WTA Tour, although they award points for the WTA World Ranking.
Steffi Graf finished the year as world No. 1 for the fourth time in her career. She won ten tournaments during the season, including a major at the Australian Open. She also won a Tier I event and finished runner-up at two other majors, the French Open and the US Open. | |
