   Points won by each set: | 22-28, 16-28, 36-32, 41-34, 42-31 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   18 % Lendl – 29 of 155
   23 % McEnroe – 37 of 157

   The final lasted 4 hours 8 minutes. [1] McEnroe’s outburst (which cost him loss of concentration) occurred when he led 30/15 on Lendl’s serve at 1-all in the 3rd set. Prior to the final Lendl [2] had lost six matches in succession to McEnroe; counting that French Open final, the Czechoslovak couldn’t even win five games in a set as far as eight consecutive sets are concerned! ‘Big Mac’ was:
   – 6 points away from triumph in the 3rd set
   – 5 points away in the 4th set (earlier led 4:2)
   – 8 points away in the 5th set

   Lendl’s route to his 41st title (first major):
   1 Matt Mitchell 6-3, 6-2, 6-0
   2 Mario Martinez 6-1, 6-0, 6-1
   3 Paul McNamee 6-1, 7-5, 6-4
   4 Anders Jarryd 6-4, 6-0, 6-4
   Q Andres Gomez 6-3, 6-7(8), 6-4, 6-3
   S Mats Wilander 6-3, 6-3, 7-5
   W John McEnroe 3-6, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, 7-5
