Andre Agassi came on top against old rival Pete Sampras in an exhibition match to celebrate World Tennis Day. An enthusiastic crowd gathered in central London to see another challenge between two players who faced each other 34 times during their professional careers. The format of the match was two sets plus a tiebreak-set decider, but it was not needed, because Agassi won 6-3, 7-6. Agassi has a 20-14 winning record against Sampras, who is only one year younger. Sampras, who has won four and lost one Grand Slam final against Agassi, is also unbeaten in two grasscourt matches against the best player he has ever faced. -- Mornings @ ANC, March 4, 2014.
