   Becker [2] said: “At the end of the second set, it started to hurt more. I knew in the third set I had to win quickly, because the longer it gets the harder it gets.”. The 22-year-old West German defeated Forget, Masur (both after almost identical scorelines) and McEnroe in three very long (3-hour on average) matches before the final which lasted approximately 2 hours. Becker stated: “I’ve played something like 13-14 hours over the last four days. That’s too much. I’m not a machine.” (# he also played the first round match in doubles) He collected $300,000 in winning his fifth title of the year.

   Becker’s route to his 24th title:
   1 Milan Srejber 6-3, 6-3
   2 Guy Forget 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3)
   Q Wally Masur 6-7(2), 6-4, 7-6(6)
   S John McEnroe 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-3
   W Stefan Edberg 6-4, 6-3, 6-3

   Becker’s 1R in doubles after the Forget match: along with Eric Jelen he lost to Pieter Aldrich/Danie Visser 6-7, 4-6
