Christian Bergstrom is some sort of a Swedish enigma. He never won an ATP title (two finals, both in Adelaide), and never even reached the Top 30. A player like him would embrace one Grand Slam quarterfinal with open arms, but Bergstrom [62] somehow found his way to play three times in the last 8 of the biggest tournaments! # In the first round of the Aussie Open ’93 he stunned Ivan Lendl (6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4) then in the 4th round after almost identical scoreline (6-4, 7-5, 2-6, 6-4) he ousted another seeded guy – Wayne Ferreira! I don’t know how to explain this phenomena, probably he was physically well prepared and felt himself much more comfortable beginning ‘the best of five’ encounters. Against Edberg [2], he kicked off with a 4:2* lead, but from that moment on, the older Swede hadn’t problems to break his opponent’s serve many times.
