King of Tennis in 1990's Pete sampras will be seen shortly against his long time rival and his countrymen Andre Agassi playing in an exhibition match on October 25 in Macau. Pete sampras is the only man to win 14 grand slam title and Roger Federer will be seen equal in wimbledon as Pete sampras hasn't won any title in Roland Garros. So as Roger Federer too.
Last year Roger federer came close to match Sampras in the number of Titles but Rafael Nadal won against him in the upcoming grand slam. This french Open will be a tight competition as Federer seen with soem come back after winning the Madrid open final against Rafael Nadal. Sampras said, " Roger was in hungry to win the french open and match him".
He has a bright chance in his wimbledon as it is his favourite spot. Sampras said Agassi is always my rivalry as he play some good tennis and he has excellent serving capacity. People say that after ME AND AGASSI, American tennis has spoiled a bit but sampras says that with Andy Roddick and James Blake we are still in the competition.

To kick off the event, the sliding roof slowly started unfolding with a soft whirring in an afternoon ceremony as British singers Faryl Smith and Katherine Jenkins sang "Amazing Grace" in the center of the court.
The guest Boris Becker were given with a fine applausing as the game progresses. There were 15,000 spectators enjoying alroung the ground. As the two-parted roof closed without a hitch, it was greeted by a thunderous applause.
Then shortly after the tennis began, as if on cue, it started to rain. Not that anyone inside the stadium noticed. In the match agassi defeated Henman 6-4 , graf lost to Kim clijster 6-4 , in the doubles agassi , graf lost to Henman and kim clijsters . Everyone were aware that it is definitely going to be a treat for the audience as the match progresses.
