   Points won by each set: [ 42-35, 37-36 ]
   Points won directly on serve:
   25 % Mancini – 20 of 78
   36 % Hlasek – 26 of 72

   Hlasek’s best chance to reach a big final… The Swiss [21] was a slight favorite as a player more adapted to faster surfaces, in a good form having reached the Indian Wells quarterfinal (defeated i.a. Sampras) two weeks earlier. Mancini [24] – known as a clay-courter – could consider already his advancement to the semifinals as something very satisfying. Their appearance at that stage quite unexpected, but especially Mancini’s one could be seen as well deserved because he had defeated Becker & Krajicek in two preceding meetings… so he reached the final with three consecutive wins over serve-and-volleyers. Night session encounter; Hlasek was serving very well, but at 5-all in the 2nd set he began the game with two double faults, then at 30-all he left Mancini’s accidental backhand return lob, and the ball landed on the baseline.
