Evgeny Kafelnikov beat the German David Prinosil at the fourth time in succession, giving no chance to his opponent. The second part of the match was more successful as he won four games in row. But the key moment became the 11th game in the second set when Kafelnikov converted a break. After the last stroke Evgeny raised his hands up joyfully — 6:2, 7:5.
