   Points won by each set: [ 30-26, 36-29, 34-21 ]
   Points won directly on serve:
   26 % Edberg – 22 of 83
   11 % Bruguera – 11 of 93

   Edberg’s most impressive clay court appearance, especially in retrospect with the knowledge Bruguera became a two-time French Open champion afterwards, and 19-year-old Corretja easily beaten by Edberg in the quarters, a two-time French Open runner-up. The Swede [3] saved a double break point at 3-all in the 1st set and a break point at 2:3 in the 2nd set – from that moment Bruguera [9] somehow lost his focus and 10 out of 12 games, having some problems in two games he won. Perhaps he paid the price for a very intense April ’93 (it was his clay-court match no. 21 of the season). The final was played on May 2.

   Edberg’s route to his 37th title (third & last on clay):
   1 Jose A. Conde 6-0, 6-3
   2 Jonas Svensson 6-4, 6-3
   Q Alex Corretja 6-3, 6-2
   S Emilio Sanchez 6-0, 7-5
   W Sergi Bruguera 6-3, 6-3, 6-2

   ☆ Their previous match on clay (French Open ’90, first round), Bruguera won 6-4, 6-2, 6-1
   and it was a shocker which displayed huge potential of the 19-year-old Spaniard… Edberg defeated four Spaniards
