Points won by each set: [ 28-22, 45-41, 38-30 ]
Points won directly on serve:
32 % McEnroe – 31 of 94
28 % Cash – 31 of 110
These two serve-and-volley artists faced each other just four times within eight years, but twice on the Wimbledon Centre Court: to open and to end their rivalry. McEnroe [1] was a defending champion that year, in terrific form, actually Cash [33] could be glad that lost putting himself ahead on the scoreboard in every set he lost (he led 3:2* in the opener, had mini SP at 5-all in the 2nd set & 5:4 on serve in the following tie-break which he lost 5/7… also led *2:0 in the 3rd set). Definitely in that match Cash showed skills to expect him as a future champion, which happened three years later.
