The semifinal between Edberg and Michael Chang lasted 5 hours and 26 minutes, making it the longest tennis match in the Open Era at the time.

This tournament marked the last appearance in a singles major for two former world No. 1s: seven-time major singles champion John McEnroe and eight-time major singles champion Jimmy Connors.
