   Points won by each set: | 29-21, 38-26 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   28 % Lapentti – 14 of 50
   18 % Hewitt – 12 of 64

   A breakthrough season for them both even though five year difference separated them. Lapentti [14] had exceptionally difficult road to the final, winning all his matches from a set down being within points of losing those matches in the 2nd or 3rd sets. Tiredness could be expected from him, but he was fresh like a daisy and didn’t give the 18-year-old Hewitt [27] any chance. The Australian considerably helped playing very poorly at the net.

   Lapentti’s route to his 3rd title:
   2 Jan Siemerink 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(4) – 1 m.p.
   3 Sebastien Grosjean 4-6, 6-4, 6-1
   Q Gustavo Kuerten 5-7, 6-4, 7-5
   S Magnus Gustafsson 6-7(5), 7-6(6), 6-2 – 1 m.p.
   W Lleyton Hewitt 6-3, 6-2
