   The final lasted 3 hours 30 minutes, Kafelnikov’s third major title (after winning Roland Garros ’96 & Australian Open ’99). “My country is taking over in tennis,” Kafelnikov said. “It has been a very sensational year.” Kafelnikov said. In the 1st set Haas led 3:2 on serve after holding the longest game of the match (six deuces, saved three break points), then trailed 3:5. There was 3-all (deuce) in the decider when the Russian took the last three games.
