PertSnergleman's Review:
Stefan Edberg: the sultry Swede from Småland, had until 1991 been a fragile fellow in his attempts to overcome all that is bothersome at the US Open.
As the finest serve-and-volley player of his era and arguably the greatest of all-time, Edberg was always a wile adversary for the 80's king of Corona Park, Ivan "R2-D2" Lendl.
In this classic 1991 semifinal, Stefan began his road to a stunning back-to-back US Open title performance by conducting the sort of clinical, stylish and impressive performance rarely seen in this crazy arena in Queens.
Edberg advanced to his first Open final and regained the No. 1 ranking he'd surrendered to Boris Becker at Wimbledon with a picturesque unravelling of Lendl.
Irritated and intimidated in the past by everything from low-flying airplanes to airborne garbage, Edberg had never advanced beyond the semis. In 1990, he had his worst Open performance since 1983 when, newly anointed with the No. 1 ranking, he bowed out embarrassingly in the first round.
Stefan this year said he intended to peak on target for the Open, and he intended to block out Manhattan by not visiting it... his plans for a serene two-week stint appeared to be working.
"Right from the beginning I kept a very positive attitude, and I've gone through match after match playing better and better," said the second-seeded Edberg.
"I've been No. 1 before, but I haven't been in the Open final, and that gives me more pleasure at the moment," said Edberg.
