   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, but he didn’t get the diamond racquet as he triumphed thrice within six, not five years. He also claimed a title in his another appearance, in Detroit, his last event that year.
