User:03md/Tennis seasons

The 1985 WTA Tour, known as the Toyota WTA Tour for sponsorship reasons, was the 18th season of women's professional tennis and the 5th season of the WTA Tour. It was dominated by Martina Navrátilová, who won 12 tournaments and reached the finals of the four Grand Slam events. She defeated Chris Evert at Wimbledon and the Australian Open. Navrátilová also won the Masters in March and ended the year at World Number 1.

Evert, the winner of ten titles in 1985, emerged victorious at Roland-Garros, while Hana Mandlíková won the U.S. Open.

Gabriela Sabatini won the first title of her career in Tokyo.

In doubles, the pairing of Navrátilová and Pam Shriver won the title at Roland-Garros and the Australian Open, Jordan and Smylie won the Wimbledon title and Kohde-Kilsch-Suková were victorious at the US Open.
