Erica Kathleen "Kathy" Horvath (born August 25, 1965, in Chicago, Illinois) is a retired American professional tennis player.

Career

Horvath was the youngest player to win the U.S. National 16 and under in 1979. She also is the only player to ever win all four age groups in the U.S. Girls Clay Courts in all consecutive years.

Horvath played on the WTA Tour from 1981 to 1989, winning six singles titles and reaching a career high rank of World No. 10 in 1984. She reached the quarterfinals at the French Open in 1983 and 1984. She retired with a 176–154 singles record.

Horvath was the only player to defeat Martina Navratilova in the 1983 season (at the 1983 French Open). She stunned Navratilova in the fourth round 6–4, 0–6, 6–3 while Navratilova's coaches (Renee Richards and Nancy Lieberman) argued in the stands over strategy, something Navratilova noticed during the match.

Horvath had career victories over Navratilova, Andrea Jaeger, Manuela Maleeva, Gabriela Sabatini, Dianne Fromholtz, Claudia Kohde-Kilsch, Mary Joe Fernández, Betty Stöve, and Sylvia Hanika. She was a member of the 1984 US Fed Cup Team. She was coached by renowned Australian coach Harry Hopman and Nick Bollettieri.
