Manuel Orantes defeated Jimmy Connors 6 4 6 3 6 3 at Forest Hills to win the US Open, denying Connors a title defense.

Evert also won the women’s crown, beating Evonne Goolagong as Goolagong earned runner-up status. Evert’s prize money totaled 25,000 dollars plus bonuses, with Orantes earning 25,000 for the men’s title. Connors’s runner-up payout was 12,000 dollars. Goolagong’s prize lifted her earnings to over 109,000 this year.
