    Points won by each set: | 39-35, 41-32 |
    Points won directly behind the serve:
    22 % Edberg – 14 of 62
    31 % Pate – 27 of 85

    Pate [42] belonged to the fastest servers in the second half of the 80s. He used his biggest weapon to stun Lendl 7-6(5), 4-6, 7-6(5) in the third round. Later that year Pate defeated Lendl again in the third set tie-break, that time in the quarterfinal of an exho event in Jericho, 6-3, 6-7(7), 7-6(4). In the Tokyo final, Edberg [3] got the only break of the final at 1-all (four deuces – the longest game), leading 5:3 he squandered a triple match point.

    Edberg’s route to his 12th title:
    2 Jim Grabb 7-5, 6-4
    3 Dan Goldie 6-3, 7-5
    Q Anders Jarryd 6-3, 6-2
    S Andres Gomez 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-2
    W David Pate 7-6(2), 6-4
