Noah served at 54% (56 of 104)

Noah won 39 of 56 pts on 1st serve(70%)
He won 26 of 48 on 2nd (54%)
Wilander won 40 of 75 pts on 1st serve(53%)
He won 23 of 37 on 2nd (62%)
Noah had 41 non service winners(5 fh, 3 bh, 20 fhv, 7 bhv, 6 ov)
Wilander had 36 (9 fh, 17 bh, 2 fhv, 3 bhv, 5 ov)
Winners by set:
Noah 10, 16, 15
Wilander 5, 14, 17
Wilander had 23 passing shot winners, 7 fh & 16 bh.
Noah had 3, 1 fh & 2 bh.
Noah had 5 aces, 1 double
Wilander had 2 aces, 2 doubles
Noah had 11 unreturned serves, 2 were service winners
Wilander had 8 unreturned serves
Noah was 6 of 17 on break points
Wilander was 3 of 9
Dick Enberg said Noah's final net stats were 56 of 82(68%) but I had him at 64 of 101(63%)
Noah really didn't serve & volley all that much(I'm guessing no more than 15 times) just worked his way into net later in the rallies(great slice bh's) A lot of the times he did S&V Mats blew returns by him.
I had Wilander at 23 of 36 at net (64%)
In the 1st game of the 3rd NBC had Noah with 26 volley winners, 5 errors, & 11 times passed.
They flashed some rather strange stats late in the match(4-3 in the 3rd):
FH Winners
Noah 28
Mats 13
BH Winners
Noah 10
Mats 12
No idea where these numbers came from, esp since my stats were pretty close to the stats they had after 2 sets:
Noah 32 winners, 11 unforced errors
Wilander 17 winners, 14 unforced errors
This was the first time a French Open final was broadcast live in the US. Noah received $88,000 as the champion.
I was surprised at how well behaved the crowd was, they rarely cheered Wilander errors, even when they came on crucial points. They got quiet soon after the points ended, the umpire didn't have to constantly ask for silence like they so often have to do today. And the umpire didn't get out of his chair to check even one mark during the match.
Was amused to see the future Mrs. Edberg identified as Mats' girlfriend.
