Medalists
[edit]Since there were four Canadian players entered in the women's singles tournament, Robbyn Hermitage and Milaine Cloutier, who lost in the semifinals to their compatriots Denyse Julien and Si-An Deng, did not receive the bronze medals, as, under the rules in effect at the time, one country could not occupy all the podium places. Thus, the two bronze medals were awarded to Beverly Tang of Trinidad and Tobago and Kathy Zimmermann of the United States, who were the two highest-place finishers from other countries.[2]
