Edberg was 4 of 10 on break points, Becker was 2 of 4(he had no bp's in the last 2 sets)
Other notes:
The match started at 6:30 pm on Sunday due to rain. It started raining after 5 games, & they resumed the match the following day. They had another rain delay at 5-4 in the 1st. They finally completed the match at 5:11 pm on Monday.
Dick Enberg said it was the 1st Monday final since 1922.
In the last game of the match, Edberg didn't get one 1st serve in, yet still held at 30.
NBC flashed some rather strange stats on Becker throughout the match. They said that Becker had 60 winners in the 2nd set alone, while giving Edberg 18(which was probably correct, including service winners) Even 60 for the match was a ridiculous number, so I guess someone in the truck made a typo or something.
Dick Enberg said at 3-2 in the 3rd that the 2 players had hit 78 winners combined at that point, which of course was way off, presumably they were still adding the incorrect Becker numbers to that.
