Tennis ace Federer to take on Sampras in Shah Alam
BY S.SIVABALAN
PETALING JAYA: World No 1 men's tennis player Roger Federer will take on his predecessor Pete Sampras in an exhibition match on Nov 22 at the Malawati Stadium in Shah Alam.
The clash between the two great players is part of the inaugural Merdeka Tennis challenge which features the exhibition match and the US$150,000 Malaysian Open.
The Malaysian Open, featuring men's singles and doubles, would be held at the same venue from Nov 18-25.
The exhibition match is the second time the two players will meet; their first was in a professional match during the fourth round of the 2001 Wimbledon Championships. Federer then upset his former idol in a stunning 7-6 (7), 5-7, 6-4, 6-7 (2), 7-5 win.
Federer picked up his 10th Grand Slam by winning the Australian Open in January would be looking to add to that number at the French Open which starts on Saturday.
Another exhibition match is being organised during the Merdeka Tennis Challenge but the players involved will be named at a later date by the organisers First Events Promotions Sdn Bhd

Peluang saksikan Federer, Sampras
Oleh Mohd Fadzrie Hazis
PEMINAT tenis tempatan kini berpeluang menyaksikan aksi perlawanan klasik antara pemain nombor satu dunia, Roger Federer dengan bekas pemain nombor satu dunia, Pete Sampras di Malaysia.
MINAT: Hasnida Hanim Ahmad Kamil tertarik melihat replika
bintang tenis terkenal Pete Sampras dan Roger Federer
yang akan menyertai program Cabaran Tenis Merdeka
November nanti, di Petaling Jaya, semalam.
Kedua-dua pemain itu akan beraksi dalam Perlawanan Cabaran pada 22 November depan di Stadium Melawati, Shah Alam yang juga menjadi sebahagian program Cabaran Tenis Merdeka yang dijadualkan berlangsung dari 18 hingga 25 November depan.
Bagi Sampras, idea perlawanan dengan Federer tercetus ketika kedua-dua pemain itu bermain sesama sendiri Mac lalu.
揝elepas berlatih bersama Federer Mac lalu, memberi keyakinan kepada saya untuk berdepan dengannya.
揃eraksi dengan Federer pasti perlawanan istimewa, ia adalah perlawanan antara dua pemain yang mendominasi era masing-masing, |

Sampras, Federer will play exhibitions in Asia
HONG KONG -- Pete Sampras will play top-ranked Roger Federer in three exhibition matches throughout Asia in November.
Sampras, who retired in 2002, will challenge Federer on Nov. 22 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Two days later, they will play at the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau. The location for the third match on Nov. 20 has not been determined.<br />
"I am so excited to play Pete and I am really looking forward to visiting Malaysia for the first time," Federer said. "There is no doubt that we will play some great tennis."
The exhibitions originated after Sampras invited Federer to practice at his home in Los Angeles as part of Federer's preparations for the Indian Wells tournament in March.
"Obviously he's a great player, but I felt like I didn't embarrass myself out there," Sampras said. "I feel like I can hold my own."
The 35-year-old Sampras said his strategy for beating Federer, who is 10 years younger, is to stay aggressive.
"Roger's game doesn't have many cracks," Sampras said. "It's one of those sorts of matchups where I just need to overwhelm him with some power and try to come in and hopefully serve well."
In their only ATP matchup, Federer beat Sampras 7-6 (7), 5-7, 6-4, 6-7 (2), 7-5 in the round of 16 at Wimbledon in 2001 . |

kiranya ni perlawanan antara 2live legend di Open Era..
masing2 berada di kelas yg tersendiri..
Nadal mmg power, tp belum masuk dalam list legend lagi..
depa dua orang ada berlatih bersama kat rumah pete..n reporter ask them how's d game n pete kata dia xpernah stori mori kat sesapa pasal latihan tu..
yg penting, masing2 ada kelebihan n kekurangan..
and he add; I have huge serve rather than him n suka berlari hingga ke net, instead of Roger yg lebih gemar bermain di baseline n pukulan kilas yg powerful..
ape2 pon, dapat salam pon jadilaaaaa...:pray: :pray:
dapat headband n photo pon lagi baguss..:nyorok: :nyorok: |
