   Points won by each set: | 29-23, 29-37, 29-29, 31-30 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   31 % Gomez – 34 of 107
   16 % Agassi – 21 of 130

   The crucial moment of the 2-hour 31-minute match, came at 4-all in the 3rd set – Agassi [5] led 40/15 on serve, but lost two games in a row. Prior to the French Open ’90, Gomez didn’t play a Grand Slam semifinal (five major quarter-finals), even though he belonged to the best players of the 80s. Untypical match in terms of points won: Gomez collected three games more, yet Agassi edged in total points won by one. “I have come here for 12 years, and I have been thinking about this moment,” Gomez said. “It just took too long.” The 30-year-old Ecuadorian [7] finished victorious in just one more match at Slams losing five before his retirement.

   Gomez’s route to the 21st title:
   1 Fernando Luna 7-6(2), 6-1, 7-6(5)
   2 Marcelo Filippini 7-6(5), 6-2, 6-1
   3 Alexander Volkov 6-2, 7-5, 4-6, 6-3
   4 Magnus Gustafsson w/o
   Q Thierry Champion 6-3, 6-3, 6-4
   S Thomas Muster 7-5, 6-1, 7-5
   W Andre Agassi 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4

   Oldest players to win maiden Slams in the Open Era:
   34 years 10 months: Andres Gimeno (Roland Garros ’72)
   30 years 3 months: Andres Gomez (Roland Garros ’90)
   30 years 9 days: Petr Korda (Australian Open ’98)

   Before that event, Gomez had lost 5 times in major quarterfinals (record at the time), soon afterwards Forget became a new record holder with 5
