Rosewall downs Sampras, wins again
Fourth seed Ken Rosewall became the first man to win back-to-back titles this year by dropping third seed Pete Sampras in the final of the Forest Hills grass court event in three sets. Incredibly, Rosewall has reached six finals out of the seven tournaments he has played this year, all on clay or grass. In the final here, Rosewall began in scintillating form dominating from the net, before he dropped off in the second and allowed his American opponent to find his rhythm. The third set was a cagey affair, with the two men exchanging service breaks early on before Rosewall was able to break through on Sampras' serve in the final game of the set to close out the victory and climb into the top 5 in the rankings.
