   An all-Swedish final of the Davis Cup teammates who won that trophy for Sweden just a month before. They held twelve times firmly in the opener, then at 4-all in the tie-break Edberg [7] played his best tennis to get three straight points. It was quite surprising that he had five match points already leading 5:0* in the 2nd set because he’d lost his charm of a Top 5 player – that featured almost ten previous seasons – while his four years younger compatriot was playing tennis of his life at the time; [19] Larsson’s most successful period stretched between French Opens 1994 and 1995. In the last game of that final, Edberg fired an ace to convert his seventh match point (he withstood a break point a moment before). Both Swedes lost in the fourth round of the Aussie Open ’95, each of them squandering a two-sets-to-love lead.

   Edberg’s route to his 41st and last title:
   1 Ronald Agenor 6-2, 7-6(8)
   2 Adrian Voinea 6-7(8), 6-3, 6-3
   Q Karim Alami 6-1, 6-1
   S Henri Leconte 6-2, 7-6(5)
   W Magnus Larsson 7-6(4), 6-1

   # Edberg trailed 1:3 in the 2nd set against Voinea
