In a repeat of the previous year's final, three-time former champion Hingis won the first set 6–4 having led 5–1 at one stage. Hingis then took a 4–0 lead in the second set but Capriati fought back to take it into a tiebreaker, which Hingis led 6–2 giving her four consecutive championship points. However, Capriati saved them all and eventually won the tiebreaker 9–7. Hingis then broke Capriati's serve in the third set to lead 2–1, but defending champion Capriati won the next five games to complete a 4–6, 7–6(7), 6–2 victory, and in doing so gained the record for most consecutive match points saved in a Grand Slam final success.
