   The 30-year-old Leconte was playing poorly in 1993 which wasn’t strange because at the time the vast majority of players suffered a setback approaching 30. He dropped to No. 141 just before Halle, but his ranking a month earlier during the entrance acceptance, allowed him to play the event without qualifying rounds, and he rediscovered the best version of himself in Nordrhein-Westfalen, winning 8 straight matches (after the Halle title, he advanced to Wimbledon’s 4th round not dropping a set… photo) being unable to win two consecutive matches for half a year prior to Halle… In the final against the rising star Medvedev [9], Leconte played a perfect match from start to finish. He jumped to a 3:0* lead in both sets, he was freely swinging with this cushion hitting winners all over the place (half of his points he obtained thanks to winners), and finished the contest with an overhead.

   Leconte’s route to his 9th and last title:
   1 Paul Haarhuis 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-2
   2 Aaron Krickstein 4-6, 6-3, 6-2
   Q Richey Reneberg 6-2, 3-6, 7-6(8) – 2 m.p.
   S Petr Korda 6-3, 4-6, 7-5
   W Andrei Medvedev 6-2, 6-3
