   Points won by each set: | 39-26, 25-15, 27-11 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   20 % Agassi – 14 of 67
   21 % Hlasek – 16 of 76

   Hlasek’s [20] only major quarterfinal and a brutal verification of his clay-court skills. The Swiss advanced to the last eight in Paris mainly thanks to an unexpected 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 win in the second round over Emilio Sanchez, who was among favorites to the title having won Barcelona and Rome that year. Against Agassi, Hlasek had a point to level at 4 games apiece, since then he had no chance from the back of the court with his soft, old-fashioned flat ground-strokes. # Agassi [4] would demolish Hlasek also 1.5 years later in the Davis Cup final (hard indoors), dropping just five games again.

   # Comparison of their two ‘best of five’ matches:
   1991 French Open (QF): Agassi d. Hlasek 6-3, 6-1, 6-1… 1 hours 15 minutes… Total points: 91-52
   1992 Davis Cup (F): Agassi d. Hlasek 6-1, 6-2, 6-2… 1 hours 28 minutes… Total points: 90-58
