Until 5-all in the opener Edberg [3] was holding with ease, challenging Chang [9] in four consecutive games on return, including a set point at 5:4 (service winner). Then after losing three games in a row, the Swede took six straight games, and almost lost three in a row again (Chang led 2:0*, 40/15 in the 3rd). “It’s been a tough couple of days for me here,” Edberg said, “And things didn’t go that great in the third set. I just ran out of steam a little bit.” He also advanced to the doubles final, partnering Henrik Holm.

Chang’s route to his 10th title:
2 Daniel Nestor 6-3, 7-6(5)
3 Jamie Morgan 6-1, 7-6(7)
Q Jason Stoltenberg 7-6(3), 5-7, 6-3
S Andre Agassi 7-5, 1-6, 7-5
W Stefan Edberg 7-5, 0-6, 6-4

# Due to rain, all third round matches and quarterfinals were played on the same day, and Chang spent the most time on the courts among those who advanced to the semifinals (4 hours), defeating two Australians: saved 4 set points vs Morgan, then needed 2:30 hrs to overcome Stoltenberg; in the semis he trailed *1:4 (30-all) in the 3rd to Agassi, and was two points away from defeat at 4:5 (30-all)
