1990 Australian Open – Men's Singles

Men's Singles
1990 Australian Open
Champion	Ivan Lendl
Runner-up	Stefan Edberg
Final score	4–6, 7–6^(7–3), 5–2 retired

Main article: 1990 Australian Open

Ivan Lendl was the defending champion,^[1] and retained his title defeating Stefan Edberg 4–6, 7–6^(7–3), 5–2 in the final – leading in the third set when Edberg was forced to retire because of a torn stomach muscle injury. The Swede's retirement marked the first time since the 1911 Wimbledon Championships that a male player withdrew during the singles' title match of a Grand Slam tournament.^[2]

Former world number 1 John McEnroe created controversy after he was disqualified from his fourth round match for unsportsmanlike conduct, receiving a warning for intimidating a linesperson, a point penalty after smashing his racket, and ultimately being defaulted for swearing at the umpire, supervisor and tournament referee.
