37 % Stich – 22 of 58
An all serve-and-volley duel between two best Germans of the 90s. Stich [3] seemed a better player before the tie-break, he led 2:1 (40/15), 3:2 (40/30), 5:4 (30-all). Becker [6] won the tie-break 7/3 and got the only break leading 3:2 in the 2nd set. In both sets he showed his speciality – diving volleys: in the first set he made a BH-volley winner (picture), in the 2nd set he dived on match point with his FH-volley forcing Stich’s error.
