PertSnergleman's Review:
-------------------------------------------
Saturday 12 September 1992 - 5 hours and 26 minutes... It is the longest match in the history of the US Open and also one of the most entertaining semis ever at this Major, as Edberg & Chang pushed each other to the limits all the time.
In what was an extraordinary battle of two different styles and tennis philosophies, Edberg rushed to the net 254 times (won 144 points) while Chang tried to cross the finish line first with his monitored baseline error-free game.
At the start, Edberg appeared to be struggling with his serve, which forced him to engage in more baseline rallies than usual. Chang took the first set, 7-6. In the second set, the Swede made a much better impression, and soon, he was up 4-0.
Abandoned by his serve again, he saw his opponent coming back, but he eventually managed to seal the second set, 7-5. A similar scenario happened in the third set, with the defending champion leading 5-2, before being pegged back and then winning the set 7-6.
If Edberg thought he was going to race through the fourth set, then he was disappointed. Chang kept on fighting for every point, and when the players reached 5-5, it seemed that Edberg was now paying the price for his two previous five-set matches against Krajicek and Lendl. Taking advantage of his opponent’s weariness, the 1989 Roland-Garros champion won five games in a row to lead 3-0 in the decider, and soon, he even obtained two double break points, almost match points. Edberg saved them and clawed his way back in another twist, only to be broken again at 3-2. Chang couldn’t hold on to his serve either, and eventually, the 23rd break of serve, which gave Edberg a 5-4 lead, was the last. Saving a last break point, the Swede propelled himself into the final.
With five hours and 26 minutes of play, Edberg and Chang had just played the longest match in US Open history. The Swede had approached the net no fewer than 254 times. “I had chances, he had chances - it was just incredible - but now there’s only one match to go,” said Edberg. It was sort of a tough match again, mentally. He had me down 3-0, 15-40, and then the momentum changed.”
The following day, Edberg would defeat Pete Sampras in the final, claiming a second consecutive US Open crown, his last major title. This success would make him world No 1 again, although only for three weeks. In total, the Swede would spend 72 weeks on top of the ATP ranking. In 1993, he would reach a last Grand Slam final in Australia, then he would slowly decline until his retirement at the end of 1996.
Enjoy!

This is so much better than today's game!
We were really lucky to witness those 70s and 80s guys play!
Professional tennis started to deteriote from the 90s onwards.
At least on the men's side.
254 times Edberg came to the net in this match! Seems incredible for today's standards when 50 net approaches in a five-set match are considered "a lot"....
2 of the all-time classiest players (no drama...just pure tennis)
loved Chang...the proverbial David...underdog. The Lendl-Chang, French 5 setter is a classic David vs Goliath!!!!!
Classic US Open on CBS thanks
Thank you for sharing. Very useful for serve and volley players and how to attack an opponent with a 2 handed backhand. Edberg had it more difficult against such players.
I totally miss Stephan Edberg. I used to teach/coach tennis and I often quoted Edberg's heavily accented English response to another great gentleman of the game (Todd Martin) in response to Todd's lament to Stephan that he was sad that he wasn't playing as well as he knows he could play.
Stephan replied, "You've got to watch the ball hit the center of the racket".
I miss him too, Tony. The equanimity with which Stefan played was amazing. I love watching his clay matches where he is forced to mix it up and be more selective on his net attacks. Here is an example of what I mean: ruclips.net/video/WnGDrbkQSG8/видео.html
That probably felt great to Stefan regarding the devastating loss at RG '89
Thanks for sharing, great match.
Edberg's greatest achievement, this tournament. 5-setters vs Krajicek, Lendl, and Chang, and then Sampras in the final.
I'm sure Chang regrets not taking those break points at 0-3 in the 5th set. And then he was up 4-2. Not sure he beats Pete in the final anyway though.
More entertaining than today's game
Absolute revenge por Stefan after the heartbreaking loss in the French Open final to Chang; had like 20 break points in the 4th, (2 sets to 1 up) including at 4-4 to serve for the match and couldnt convert. Here it was the opposite, Chang up 3-0, 4-2 and Stefan comes back and closes it.
Stefan did revenge CHang at the French in 96, so his revenge on Chang for the 89 French final is well cemented.
I would pay 1000 Euros if it would be the opposite - that Stefan would have won that 89 Paris final which still hurts most
@@WONGLER Absolutely true. Still hurts no doubt ... think Stefan was a little anxious in those break points at 4-4, he certainly wanted to serve for the match and he overreacted a little; Maybe he would have waited a little longer in the back of the court
Chang lost to the eventual champion in ‘91 , ‘92 , ‘93 , ‘94 , ‘96, ‘97 …
Chang was a great underrated champion.
As you can see at the end, the women's finalists (Seles and Sanchez-Vicario) were being pushed onto the court when Michael Chang was still walking off. This was in the days of the notorious "Super Saturday" the US Open had had since 1984 - sandwiching the women's final between the two men's semi finals.
it's a shame they dont have super sarurday anymore, it made it a great day for tennis.
"Super Saturday" was not existing before 1984? I did not know that. 1984 was a very special "Super Saturday" though, with both men's semifinals went to five 5 sets and the women's final went 3 sets.
@@MultiStar83 it's a shame they dont bring that back. but as usual feminists ruin everything.
@@archangelmusic13 Is that the case? I mean from a "feminist" standpoint I can fully understand their issue. The women's final being "sandwiched" between the 2 men's semifinals took the focus away from the women's final.
@@MultiStar83 having only 1 match a day takes away from tennis. sad day for tennis when super saturday was taken away.
Incredible run from Edberg. This match had a major impact on the women's final - it was seriously delayed and Monica Seles and Arantxa Sanchez Vicario were sent on court while Michael Chang and Stefan Edberg were still packing their stuff away. The women's final was a flat, disappointing match and it's easy to speculate that both players were affected by waiting around so much. The US Open really had appalling scheduling back then.
TV schedules/ratings rule the roost!
amazing match
Thank you for video
I watched this epic battle on the Russian television..
I saw this entire match live on tv too here in 🇮🇳..,and for a LONGGG time felt THIS was the best ever match ., but that changed AFTER watching Safin vs RF at the 🇦🇺 open 2005🙌💕🥰
Stefan was just married which gave him a lot of confidence
@@JSmith-zr2ve Of course it had
What happened to the second-to-last point? It went missing.
I was about to ask the same thing. Thank you.
..just look at the legs on Chang ; no wonder he was quick ....
@1:48:54
Why Michael changed his serving stand between 1991 and 1992, playing the same Edberg? I thought his Becker's stand in 1991 was a better serve.
You are right: Chang's serving stand in 1991 was very similar to Boris Becker's. His left foot did not move up though before hitting the ball. But I do not know either why he changed his serving stand at all.
耳目一新
If edberg only had a Vic Braden forehand life would have been a lot easier on the court
As somebody who actually knew Vic - and was invited by Vic personally for coaching and to role-model the serve, screw-off. You're a total hack who can't play, who's grifting off Vic's material. What you say is disrespectful to Edberg AND Vic.
Chang never changed coaches . . .he always just used his brother . . . if he would of met and used 2 or 3 different coaches throughout his career, I think he would of went a lot farther . . .
This is not true. For example Chang had Jose Higueras as coach when he won the French Open 1989 and after that Brian Gottfried for a short time I believe.
Phil Dent also coached him for a wee bit
Incredible the number of americans who write "would of" instead of "would have".
@@MultiStar83 well those were early on. After he went to Carl in 1992 he stuck with him the rest of his career. But the silly narrative that goes around that he should have left Carl has no sound basis. The fact is, he improved his game greatly and had great success with Carl - ranking went up and stayed there. Titles, multiple late slam results. 3 more Slam finals. There was little reason to change, and nobody even called for that until he started losing in 97. At that point, he had clearly lost a step, and I doubt that coaching was the problem. Big mouths like to say it though - makes them feel as though THEY had the solution. lol.
