Last night, we got to see this guy and this guy duke it out in an exhibition match at our Civic Center. It's called Serving Up Aces, with one of its sponsors being CORTA, our local tennis league.
It was fun to watch these now-retired pros, because they seemed so relaxed and loose--not only in their play but in bantering with the linesmen and the fans.
Pete Sampras, who at 6'1" is not exactly short, looked like a midget next to the 6'6" Todd Martin. I'd hate to be the person on the other side of the net when Martin takes a volley. But Pete's shots prevailed as he beat Martin 7-6, 6-4.
Here's an interview with Pete from one of our local radio stations.
Thanks for stopping by town, fellas.
