    The final of the most lucrative indoor tournament in the 80s, but not included to the main-level circuit, lasted 1 hour 47 minutes. Chesnokov [15] sprained his right ankle leading 2:1* in the 2nd set. After the match he said he wanted to retire due to persistent pain, but continued because of external pressure: “I said I cannot play anymore, but He said, << You must play! >>” Chesnokov refused to explain who pressured him: “It is my secret.” Well, the end of the Soviet Union times was near… McEnroe [14] won that event for the third and last time. He also claimed a title in his another appearance, in Detroit, his last event that year.

    McEnroe’s route to his third ECC title:
    2 Michiel Schapers 6-4, 6-2
    Q Guillermo Perez-Roldan 6-2, 6-1
    S Jakob Hlasek 7-6(3), 6-4
    W Andrey Chesnokov 6-1, 7-5, 6-2
