1972 tennis event results
Billie Jean King defeated the defending champion Evonne Goolagong in the final, 6–3, 6–3 to win the women's singles title at the 1972 French Open. She did not drop a set en route to her first French Open singles title, with which she completed the career Grand Slam in singles.[1]
The French Lawn Tennis Federation halved the size of the draw from 64 to 32 players in an attempt to attract the top players on tour to the tournament; this change was reverted the following year as results were mixed.[2]
