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 was among the best players of the 80s. Untypical match in terms of points won: Gomez won three games more, yet Agassi collected one point more. The 30-year-old Ecuadorian won just one more match at Slams losing five before his retirement.
