1972 Virginia Slims Championships

Main article: WTA Finals

The 1972 Virgin Slims Championships were the first season-ending championships of the Virginia Slims Circuit (a precursor to the WTA Tour), the annual tennis tournament for the best female tennis players in singles on the 1972 Virginia Slims circuit. The singles-only tournament was played on outdoor clay courts and was held from October 9 through October 15, 1972, at the Boca Raton Hotel & Club in Boca Raton, Florida in the United States. Fourth-seeded Chris Evert won the title but could not accept the first place prize money of $25,000 as she was not yet 18 years old and therefore was classified as an amateur.
