1988 U.S. Open women's final

This boxscore was published in the New York Times.

 

Steffi Graf d. Gabriela Sabatini, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.

 

I have Graf getting 10 return errors from Sabatini -- a discrepancy with the boxscore, if "service winners" means all return errors. Similarly, I have Sabatini getting 9 return errors from Graf, not 5.

 

My own count agrees with the service percentages, aces, doubles, and total points won.

 

I have Sabatini making 14 placement winners (ie, non-service winners), in agreement with the boxscore. But I have Graf at only 21 winners.

 

Part of the problem is that my DVD is missing two points won by each player.

 

Not counting double-faults or service returns, I have Graf making 31 unforced errors, Sabatini 28.

 

Not counting service returns, I have Graf making 11 forced errors, Sabatini 19.
