A former winner of this title, Pete was very positive going in. He was still fighting the toll that years of hard playing will eventually take on all tennis players.

Opponents:

2nd round: Magnuss Norman, def. 7-6 6-4

Dagger in the Heart: Michael Chang, Pete's old nemesis. Michael was going through his own battle with burnout, but staged an impressive effort to defeat Pete 2-6 6-7.
Record to date: 23-6
