Points won directly behind the serve:
22 % Kafelnikov – 22 of 100
16 % Agassi – 17 of 103
Agassi [1] was in a form of his life in 1995, but it was a year when the four years younger Kafelnikov [9] reached a new level of his career too. Agassi was a big favorite after beating the Russian easily in the Aussie Open ’95 quarterfinal, but all the most important points in Paris, Kafelnikov played better. In the opener he came back from a break thrice, in the 3rd set he trailed *1:4 (0/30) and 4:5 (0/30). Agassi had his points (break pts. twice/game pts. once) to win each off the last games of respective sets. He took a medical TO at *1:2 in the 2nd set (problem with right thigh).
