It was Navratilova's fourth consecutive French Open title in women's doubles. This was also Navratilova’s record 16th consecutive grand slam doubles final, dating back to the 1983 Wimbledon doubles, all of which were with Shriver, except the 1986 French Open doubles. Navratilova would 14 grand slam doubles championships during the aforementioned streak, 13 with Shriver.
