   Points won by each set: | 37-32, 36-27, 33-29 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   20 % Lendl – 19 of 93
   12 % Jaite – 13 of 101

   Jaite, one of three prominent Argentinians born in the 60s, as the first of them reached the French Open quarterfinal; his five years younger compatriots Perez-Roldan (1988) and Mancini (1989) equalled that achievement, each of them lost in straight sets to a great player. Jaite [53] showcased a very proficient tennis from a technical stand-point, but the lack of power in his basic shots prevented him from putting up a bigger fight. There was 4-all in the opener with eight successive holds when Lendl [2] took control, and he was constantly two games ahead (at least) to the end of the match. At 5:4 in the 3rd set he broke at ‘love’ after Jaite’s poor S/V action on first match point. Jaite’s best performance at majors and best performance at a tier one level below meant facing Lendl in the end stations, the Argentine lost to Lendl the Monte Carlo ’88 final (he’d also played the Rome ’87 final where he was defeated by Wilander). Their third (chronologically second) encounter comes from Indianapolis ’85 (Lendl easily won it 6-2, 6-3).

   Serve & volley: Lendl 3/4, Jaite 4/6
