   Points won by each set: | 71-70, 15-29, 20-25, 32-20, 27-25 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   22 % McEnroe – 37 of 163
   28 % Noah – 49 of 171

   The first rubber of the final which was held in France (clay-indoors). No breaks of serve until the last game of the 1st set, McEnroe [1] saved a mini-SP at 9-all. He fired 10 of his 16 aces in the opening set (lasted 1:51 hrs). Noah [9] won seven straight games from *2:1 in the 2nd set. After that streak, McEnroe was unbroken to the end of the 4-hour 38-minute marathon. It was the first of only four meetings between them (the American won them all)… McEnroe went undefeated through the entire Davis Cup 1982 edition with the best possible record 12-0, however, he notched three dead rubbers.
