Edberg wins German Open
HAMBURG. Germany. May 11: Top-seeded Stefan Edberg overcame the loss of the first set and
two rain interruptions to win the German Open tennis tournament Monday with a 5-7, 6-4. 6-1 victory over Michael Stich. reports AP
Edberg, ranked secoMd in the world, took complete control after returning to the court following a rain delay of 45 minutes at 1-1 In the third set. Rain had already held up play for 90 minutes at the end of the first set.
He broke the third-seeded German for a 3-1 lead and then gained another break In the sixth game.
The dlrs 1.27 million tournament had been plagued by rain delays the entire week and officials were forced to reschedule the final for Monday. The championship match was reduced to the best-of-threc sets.
Stich, who ousted Boris Becker in the semifinal, had the best performances of his career to reach Monday's final against Swedish top set4 Stefan Edberg.
Earlier, the world number two had put a stop to Spaniard Carlos Costas recent giantkilling, winning the rain delayed quarter final 7-5, 7-6.
"You can't play any better been trying to become the first German to win the tournament since Wilhelm Bungert in 1964.
An earlier Reuter report said : Boris Becker suffered one of his most demoralising defeats on home soil when he was trounced 6-1. 6-1 by Michael Stich in the semifinals on Sunday.
Stich, who beat fellow German Becker at Wimbledon last year to win his first Grand Slam title, played some superb serve-and-volley tennis on the slow clay court to triumph in just 71 minutes.
Playing Just 30 kilometers from his home town of Elmshorn. Stich gave one of than that," Stich said as he left the court ahead of a dejected Becker. The threc-tlmes Wimbledon champion beat Stich at the World Championships In Frankfurt last November — their only other clash since Wimbledon.
But Becker rarely threat ened Stich on Sunday as he suffered his worst defeat for more than three years. Becker last won only two games in a match when he played American Jay Berger In Indian Wells, California, In 1989.
Becker's loss will not help his preparations on clay for the French Open beginning later this month.
Stich, using his big serve and crisp volleying at the net to the full, broke Becker had hardly had time to warm up tn the cool conditions. His coun tryman had broken again in the sixth game before serving successfully for the set after 40 minutes.
Becker was broken again in the first game of the second set. In the second game he fell to his knees with his hands together In mock prayer tn front of the net after a Stich shot had hit the net cord and bounced out of his reach.
The gesture summed up Becker's only way of saving the day with Stich In such good form. But there was no help forthcoming from the heavens and Stich ran away with the second set.
In the closing stages Becker resorted to humour to comfort his hopelessness. With the match out of his grasp he gave his racket to a linejudge and replaced her on her seat while she served two balls to Stich.
