The 29-year-old Edberg [17] raised a trophy for the last time in his beautiful career in May ’95… however it wasn’t a singles title but a World Team Cup trophy – he managed to triumph in Düsseldorf for a record third time (1988, 91 & 95, every time being accompanied by different team-mates). In the final he opened a lead for Sweden defeating Hirszon [280] – the weakest participant in finals of the 34-year-old tournament history (he never advanced even to Top 200; in doubles advanced to Top 100). Edberg held at 0:1 in the 2nd set after 10 deuces saving eight break points. It was his 18th singles victory in Düsseldorf – no-one won more matches in singles… The Croats made the biggest surprise in WTC history advancing to the final, and the 23-year-old Hirszon contributed to that result – in the last match of the “red group” he delivered performance of his life stunning Andrei Chesnokov 4-6 7-6(4) 6-2, trailing 1:5 in the 2nd set to save four match points in the process!! Thanks to that upset Croatia beat Russia 2-1 – both teams had two victories (both the Netherlands & Spain one), so that match between them decided. En route to the title the Swedes (Edberg, Larsson, Apell, Bjorkman) beat respectively: Australia 3-0, USA 3-0, Germany 2-1, Croatia 2-1.
