Edberg's final two Grand Slam singles triumphs came at the US Open with wins over Jim Courier in the 1991 final and Pete Sampras in the 1992 final who was just months away from being ranked No. Edberg spent a total of 72 weeks as World No. In 2004 Edberg was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport Rhode Island United States.
