Martina Navratilova won WTA Finals twice in 1986 amid schedule changes

The WTA Finals, first held in 1972, saw Martina Navratilova achieve a rare feat in 1986 by winning the event twice in one year. This was due to a scheduling change that moved the finals from March to November, allowing Navratilova to secure victories over Hana Mandlikova and Steffi Graf. She was the top seed and emphasized the challenges posed by tougher competition during that period. Navratilova's success at the WTA Finals includes a record eight singles titles and 13 doubles titles, the most in tournament history.
