Sampras-Becker, 1997 Wimbledon quarterfinal, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-4

Dallas Morning News:

Sampras Becker
Aces 19 6
Service winners 52 35
Double faults 3 2
1st serve pct. 69 62
Percent 1st serve pts won 79 62
Break points 5-9 0-3
Net points 67-88 57-94
Total points won 123 86
Time of match: 2:06

The ATP has Sampras leading in total points by 143-97, but that drops to 124-87 if the aces and df's are subtracted once.

The ATP has Sampras serving 19 service games, and Becker only 17. On that, they appear to be right.

Following the score, it looks like Sampras must have served first in sets 1 and 3, because Becker served first in the tiebreak.

I had no idea that could happen in a tennis match.


Agassi-Stich, 1994 U.S. Open final, 6-1, 7-6, 7-5

Hartford Courant:

Agassi Stich

Time of match 1:56.

The ATP has Agassi ahead in total points by 124-100, but that drops to 111-87 if the aces and df's are subtracted once.

Before this, the '95 USO final had been the oldest boxscore I'd seen that said it included service in the Winners.
