   Their 35th & last meeting, also Edberg’s last ATP final. The Swede [26] had a set point in the 2nd set at 5:4* – Becker [4] saved it with an ace on Edberg’s backhand. In the next game Becker broke at ‘love’, but Edberg broke back immediately. Becker’s fourth title at Queens Club (1985, 1987 & 1988). “I can’t believe it’s been 11 years ago,” said Becker about the time-span between his first and last titles at Queens. “I had to be on my game today. Stefan was having some of the best returns of the game. Even though I had good first serves, I had to work hard on my second serve and my volleys.”

   Becker’s route to his 46th title:
   2 Chris Haggard 6-4, 6-2
   3 Jonathan Stark 6-4, 6-2
   Q Patrick Rafter 7-5, 6-4
   S Wayne Ferreira 7-6(4), 6-4
   W Stefan Edberg 6-4, 7-6(3)
