    Points won by each set: | 26-31, 31-27, 27-22, 39-34 |
    Points won directly behind the serve:
    42 % Ivanisevic – 51 of 119
    37 % Muster – 44 of 118

    Intriguing final, only their second meeting, first in three years. Muster [9] had tremendous support of the local crowd and he was serving better than ever, but Ivanisevic [12] was playing more efficiently at the net than usually (he missed two super easy FH volley nevertheless). Very little to separate them, and the final outcome was decided by a period after the first hour of play when the Austrian led 4:3* – he lost then five straight games quickly (won 7 points losing 20… the Croat hit his first ground-stroke winner at 4-all 0/30 in the 2nd set).

    Ivanisevic’s route to his 8th title:
    1 Andrea Gaudenzi 6-1, 6-3
    2 Thomas Buchmayer 6-3, 6-4
    Q Byron Black 6-2, 6-1
    S Petr Korda 6-4, 6-2
    W Thomas Muster 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-6(3)
