The men's singles final was the longest in the Open's history, lasting 4 hours and 55 minutes. Mats Wilander prevailed and became the first player since Jimmy Connors in 1974 to win three Grand Slam titles in a season. With Steffi Graf's win, she became only the second woman in the open era to complete a Grand Slam.
