It is extremely hot today. The temperature going above 100 degrees.
We'll have it for you. The championship match.
Great competitor showed it yesterday.
Legacy won with yesterday, Tim.
30.
Edberg in. Serving Volley.
And Stefan Edberg holds in his first service game. A crucial game.
Bounces high.
Point.
Continuing to slap forehands wherever possible.
Way inside that baseline.
Example of this hot, humid weather.
They're not going to try.
Attack.
Agassi. Come in.
That's just too good.
Kicker there. Pushed him wide.
And then went to the defense person.
It's way over.
And Agassi has lost his serve.
At love. Edberg up. One love in the second.
He lost.
On the sideline.
At least a dozen foot faults.
Now it's for Edberg to stay on top.
And Agassi has Edberg on a string.
U.S. Open.
Agassi now just trying very delicate shots.
The ball stops.
Linda Pence, bring us in. What's going on down there with Agassi?
Well, I think, Barry, as you can clearly see, Agassi is giving almost no effort in this game at all.
What's the latest from courtside down there?
Conditions just like this.
And the key is to conserve your energy so that you can play it at close to 100% on the key points.
He loses all his rhythm and all his confidence.
Big roar from this crowd.
A gutsy step on Edberg.
And Edberg is really popular in Washington.
This crowd will swing to him.
Get some balls in play.
And you see the repeated tactics by Stefan Edberg.
Chipping the backhand deep.
What happens here?
Down the center.
Agassi said it was called out.
Edberg way in the corner.
Tim, look at this shot on the full run.
Now back in this match.
A crucial changeover as Agassi changes shirts, as you mentioned.
Double championship point.
15-40 as Brooke Shields looks on.
By Stefan on the forehand volley.
Lights off.
And Tim taking the short ball.
He can serve.
He was lucky that didn't hit.
That's a low.
Five games all in the final set.
See, that's my whole theory.
What can you do when he runs off the court and says it's a toilet break?
Agassi disappearing quickly.
I've been saying that for six games.
And Edberg's asking for a ruling.
This is amazing.
Suddenly, Agassi, after that last forehand,
let's have another look because he missed the forehand badly
and then turns quickly.
And now he drops the racket and he decides,
I'm going to...
Back to some U.S. Opens where Connors used to go off the court.
Agassi back on center court now.
Big hand.
And I would say that it is air-conditioned in that...
Yes.
Perfect timing.
Oh, yes.
Best play of the match.
Edberg struggling here now.
Pumps the volley into the court.
Agassi goes behind.
Agassi looks so tired he could hardly walk up there.
But Edberg made three errors in that last game
to let Andre hold on.
And one great shot by...
Thank you.
And we have this in the actual checkbook.
It's here.
They want to have this.
Can I really catch this thing here?
So you know why I ran off the court.
You may be wondering I had...
These people over here weren't very lucky
to see me puke about three times in that plant over there.
So next year when that plant is blocking your view,
you'll understand why it's gross.
And I just figured I was better off to go do it in private there.
