Edberg had an awful record at the USO until he finally won it in 1991.
He was very flat here, but Connors also neutralized Stefan with some great play...offensively and defensively. Even at 37, he was dangerous at the USO.
I remember hearing the result on radio and could not believe Edberg would loose this badly to an aging Jimmy Connors! Edberg had another even worse loss at the USO the following year (in the first round) before winning it in 1991 and especially 1992.
wow, that must be one of Edbergs worst matches ever. An incredible player even by todays standards with a very bad day. But he won the tournament two and three years later.
6-2 6-3 6-1 a 37 anni credo sia stata la più grande umiliazione subita da Edberg in tutta la sua carriera!!!

Edberg wasn't at his best in this match and I think Connors sensed it. Jimmy still played fantastic.

The commentator said that Connors was even disallowed one game. What did happen?
