   * The stats consists 19 out of 25 games (76%). The number of aces, double faults & break points correct for the entire contest

   Points won by each set: [ 19-30, 27-20, 38-30 ]

   Agassi [8] led 4:0 in their H2H and 6-2, 2-all (30/0) on Corretja’s serve when he lost a 25-stroke rally – it was a turning point. In the following game Corretja [11] was knocked down at the net after Agassi’s impressive baseline overhead, but found his way to break for the first time with the help of two double faults. In the decider the Spaniard survived the longest game of the final at 1-all (6 deuces, 4 break points) and took the last three games saving another break point at 3-all, forcing Agassi’s forehand error. “I got a little tentative with my shots and got a little conservative” Agassi commented his surprising defeat. Paradoxically, Corretja experienced the toughest match in his Indianapolis journey against a potentially easiest opponent; he needed 2 hours 30 minutes to outlast Scott Draper [46], a player to whom lost his previous match one week earlier… quite funny after almost identical scoreline (3-6, 7-6, 6-7) in Cincinnati, 2 hours 28 minutes.

   Corretja’s route to his 7th title:
   2 Scott Draper 6-3, 6-7(2), 7-5
   3 Mark Phillippoussis 4-6, 6-4, 6-3
   Q Greg Rusedski 6-4, 6-3
   S Todd Martin 6-2, 7-6(4)
   W Andre Agassi 2-6, 6-2, 6-3
