    Points won by each set: | 31-25, 41-29 |
    Unreturned serves:
    33 % Forget – 22 of 65
    14 % Korda – 9 of 61

    These two ~190 cm left-handed players met twice, Forget won both encounters with the same “6-3, 6-2” scoreline – the second time (first in Rome ’90) rather surprised because Korda was playing tennis of his life in 1992 being ranked higher [5 vs 14]. Nonetheless the scoreline is a bit misleading; in the opener Forget came back from (0/40) at 3:1 and (15/40) at 5:3 with a bunch of unreturned serves. In the 2nd set there was 4:2* for him when the two longest games of the final took place, and the Frenchman won them both, first after 5 deuces, then after 4 deuces converting his fourth match point. Forget’s third and last title in Toulouse.

    Forget’s route to his 10th title:
    1 Michiel Schapers 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 ☆
    2 Fabrice Santoro 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-4
    Q Andrei Medvedev 6-3, 7-6(3)
    S Arnaud Boetsch 6-3, 6-4
    W Petr Korda 6-3, 6-2

    ☆ Forget was leading all the time in the 3rd set vs Schapers;
    seven years before on the same court they met also in 1R, and Forget won 6-3, 5-7, 7-5
