   Super fast grass-court match and the shortest ATP final! Amazing that they played 20 games in just 44 minutes, but there was only one ‘deuce’ and all rallies were consisted of just 1-4 strokes while 1-2 stroke rallies were almost in majority (49 vs 47) which is unprecedented. Sampras [9] was broken in the 3rd and 1st games of the respective sets. After Manchester, Ivanisevic [11] was among favorites to the Wimbledon title for the first time in his career, but sensationally lost to Nick Brown [591] in the second round.

   Ivanisevic’s route to his 2nd title:
   1 Andrew Castle 7-5, 7-6(3)
   2 Jeremy Bates 6-3, 6-4
   Q Arne Thoms 7-5, 6-3
   S Gary Muller 7-6(9), 7-6(4)
   W Pete Sampras 6-4, 6-4

   # Ivanisevic was broken against Castle, and didn’t face a break point in his another four matches
