TENNIS DAVIS CUP FINAL
In the reverse singles yesterday young
Boris Becker fulfilled the hopes of
West Germany by beating Sweden's Mats
Wilander in four set1.
Despite injury fears, the young
Wimbledon Champion only dropped the
second set of his match with Wilander,
going on to win 6-3 2-6 6-3 6-3.
This brought the West German and
Swedish teams level at 2-2, so
everything hung on the final singles
match between Edberg and Westphal.

TENNIS DAVIS CUP FINAL
Germany's Michael Westphal delighted
the largely sympathetic 11,000 strgng
crowd by taking the opening set 6-3.
But Westphal's success was short-lived.
Edberg came back in the secgnd to win
7-5 and square the match. His
confidence restored, he went on to take
the next two sets 6-4, 6-3.
Sweden then have retained the Davis Cup
for another year, although it was
ironically a tougher struggle than last
year's final against the USA.
