   Points won by each set: [ 27-30, 42-37, 31-24 ]
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   49 % Edberg – 44 of 89
   43 % Ivanisevic – 44 of 102

   Super fast match, it’s really crazy that they played under two hours with this scoreline & Edberg’s moderate serve! Nevertheless the youngster couldn’t deal with Edberg’s serve on super fast carpet court allowing the Swede to get every second point directly on serve. Bizarre circumstances generally: just like a week before in Sydney, Edberg defeated Chang while Ivanisevic d. Agassi in the quarterfinals, and Edberg-Ivanisevic created almost a semifinal copy of their Sydney semifinal in terms of the scoreline. The Yugoslav [16] broke in the opening game, since then he hadn’t any chance in Edberg’s 16 service games, but also the Swede couldn’t do too much (for example between 2nd & 3rd set Ivanisevic won five straight games at love). Trailing 4:5 in the decider Edberg [1] held at love, another deciding tie-break seemed inevitable, but unexpectedly Edberg broke his opponent in the next game just helping him to make errors.
