Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi will play in an October exhibition match in Macau. Sampras was reliving his rivalry with Agassi in a telephone conference today. He said, “We always had really tough matches and we brought out the best in each other.”
The two tennis legends will face off on October 25th at The Venetian Macao casino. Sampras went on to say, “When people ask me who my great rival is I always tell them Andre.”
Sampras has a slight lead over Agassi when it comes to singles titles. Sampras has 64 and Agassi holds 60. So, what are the stats when it comes to the times these two have played each other? They’ve met 34 times and Sampras took 20 of those matches.
Also during the conference, Sampras talked about Roger Federer and how he believes the tennis star will tie his record of 14 Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon. Federer just needs on more major title. Do you think he can do it?
