The BlackRock Masters Tennis tournament started yesterday, December 2nd. It’s now time to watch tennis legends in action. Out of the 8 players involved in the singles tournament, Pete Sampras is favored to win. YES!
The eight tennis masters in the singles event are Pete Sampras, John McEnroe, Stefen Edberg, Pat Cash, Greg Rusedski, Jeremy Bates, Cedric Pioline and Guy Forget.
The tournament goes until December 7th at The Royal Albert Hall in London. The 8 tennis legends have been separated into two groups. The group leaders will head on to the finals. Here’s a breakdown of the 2 groups:
Group A – Pete Sampras, John McEnroe, Jeremy Bates and Cedric Pioline
Group B – Stefan Edberg, Pat Cash, Greg Rusedski and Guy Forget
My money (not literally) in on Pete Sampras! The most anticipated match of the event is the one between Sampras and McEnroe. Remember, McEnroe was mouthing off just a little and said he wasn’t going to London to lose. We’ll see about that…
Who are YOU rooting for?
