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.
