In a rematch between the 2000 US Open finalists on opening night at the LA Tennis Open presented by Farmers Insurance, Russian Marat Safin once again got the better of American Pete Sampras, prevailing in the Match Tie-break 6-4, 3-6, 10-6 to win the “Millennium Challenge” exhibition match.
Despite the defeat, Sampras still managed to finish the night a winner, receiving his award as the 2009 LA Tennis Open Tournament Honoree following the exhibition. The two-time Los Angeles champion celebrated the honour on court with his parents, siblings, wife and children.
“I don’t play in LA too often, and even though I lived in Florida for a few years, when I was playing I always felt like my roots were here,” the 37-year-old Sampras said afterwards. “It’s nice to be back, nice to play in front of the LA fans. I wish I would’ve played a little bit better, but I don’t do this very often so I can’t expect miracles out there, but it was fun to play. The crowd was great, packed it in tonight, so it was a nice night.”
Safin had captured his first of two Grand Slam titles by defeating Sampras at Flushing Meadows, and reflected on the 2000 victory ahead of the exhibition match: “It's really a warm feeling [to] have an achievement like beating Sampras in the final of US Open. It was my first breakthrough actually, and it gave me the chance of becoming No. 1 in the world.”
Following his win over Sampras in the “Millennium Challenge”, the 29 year old teamed up with fellow Russian Igor Kunitsyn to defeat Marcos Baghdatis and Dudi Sela 6-7(6), 6-2, 11-9 in first-round doubles action. Safin and Kunitsyn fended off one match point in the decisive Tie-break to clinch the win in one hour and 39 minutes.
Safin is making his final appearance in Los Angeles, with plans to retire at the conclusion of the 2009 ATP World Tour season. The No. 8 seed in the singles draw, Safin will play his first-round match Tuesday evening against last week’s Indianapolis champion Robby Ginepri. The American leads the head-to-head series 2-0, but this will mark their first meeting since 2005.

Rafter and Ivanisevic headline legends event
Tuesday 6 October 2009
Tennis fans will have the opportunity to relive one of the greatest moments in the history of the sport at Australian Open 2010.
Australian tennis legend Pat Rafter will be joined at the Australian Open legends event by Goran Ivanisevic for a “magic moments” re-match of their classic 2001 Wimbledon final.
“Even though losing that final to Goran was a big disappointment, it was still an amazing match to be part of and I will never forget that extraordinary atmosphere on centre court,” Pat Rafter said.
“I’m really looking forward to a re-match at the Australian Open in January, and hope I can turn the result around this time.”
As a three-time Wimbledon runner-up, Ivanisevic, then ranked a lowly world No.125 and two months off his thirtieth birthday, was granted a wildcard into the Wimbledon main draw by the All England Club.
He fought an injured shoulder and an unpredictable temperament to win over Carlos Moya, Andy Roddick, Greg Rusedski, Marat Safin and Tim Henman and progressed to a final delayed until the Monday due to rain.
Thousands of Australians and Croatians queued for hours for the 10,000 tickets usually not available to the average tennis fan, creating a raucous centre court atmosphere unlike anything Wimbledon had ever experienced before.
The historic five-setter, with Ivanisevic prevailing over the much favoured Pat Rafter, is remembered as one of the best tennis matches ever.
Rafter, who reached the final the year before, losing out to Pete Sampras, said at the time, “I don’t know if Wimbledon has seen anything like it. I don’t know [if] they will again. This is what we play for. This is what it’s all about.”
Rafter and Ivanisevic will relive that magic tennis moment in a specially scheduled marquee match at Rod Laver Arena on Thursday 28 January (schedule to be confirmed).
Joining Rafter and Ivanisevic for the Australian Open legends tournament will be Pat Cash, Mats Wilander, Guy Forget, Henri Leconte, Mansour Bahrami and the Woodies – Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde.
Tournament Director Todd Woodbridge said today, “I’m thrilled to have Pat Rafter and Goran Ivanisevic headlining the Australian Open legends event for 2010. Their 2001 Wimbledon final was unforgettable, and it will be fantastic to see them replay it here at Melbourne Park.
“We have a very strong line-up of players, and with matches starting a day earlier, on the middle Saturday next year, tennis fans will have even more opportunity to watch the guys in action. They are always highly entertaining and their skills are still impressive.”
The Australian Open 2010 legends event commences on Saturday 23 January, with matches expected to take place at Margaret Court Arena and Show Courts 2 and 3 from 10:00 am each morning. Schedules will be confirmed daily during the tournament.
Series tickets for Australian Open 2010 go on sale through Ticketek from 9:00 am on Wednesday 7 October to 5:00 pm Sunday 11 October (AEDST).
Rod Laver Arena and Hisense Arena single session tickets and Australian Open ground passes are on sale from 9:00 am (AEDST) Monday 12 October.
The great value $29 Australian Open ground pass gives fans access to all the outside courts and free entertainment on Grand Slam Oval and in Garden Square.

1) Seul Federer-Sampras
Roger Federer wygra³ z Petem Samprasem 6:4, 6:3 w pokazowym meczu, który rozegrano we wtorek w Seulu. By³o to pierwsze spotkanie gigantów tenisa od 2001 r.
Aktualny lider ¶wiatowego rankingu mia³ przewagê od pocz±tku meczu. Bardziej wyrównany by³ pierwszy set, w drugim Szwajcar do¶æ ³atwo wygra³ cztery z piêciu pierwszych gemów i kontrolowa³ sytuacjê. Tak jak mo¿na by³o siê spodziewaæ 36-letni Sampras ¶wietnie serwowa³ i czêsto chodzi³ do siatki, ale po pewnym czasie by³o po nim widaæ lekkie zmêczenie.
- Czu³em siê dziwnie graj±c z Petem, ale nie mog³em mu daæ ¿adnej taryfy ulgowej. Zagra³em na wysokim poziomie, ale Pete te¿ wci±¿ jest niez³ej w formie, a przecie¿ przesta³ graæ ju¿ kilka lat temu - powiedzia³ po meczu Federer, który w przeciwieñstwie do Amerykanina ma za sob± pe³ny sezon startów - zakoñczony w niedzielê triumfem w Masters Cup w Szanghaju.
2) Kuala Lumpur
Federer wygra³ tak¿e drugi mecz w czwartek w Kuala Lumpur 7:6 (8- 6), 7:6 (7-5).
3) Makau
Lider ¶wiatowych rankingów tenisowych, Szwajcar Roger Federer przegra³ w sobotê w Makau, w ostatnim z trzech spotkañ pokazowych z by³ym liderem rankingu ATP, Amerykaninem Petem Samprasem 6:7 (6:8), 4:6.
Niesamowite ¿e Sampras który przez 6 lat nie gra³ w tenisa wygra³ z aktualnym numer 1 na ¶wiecie a w jednym z meczów doprowadzi³ do 2 tibrecków. Takie spotkania legend po latach s± warte obejrzenia

Sampras beats Agassi in Macau exhibition
MACAU — Pete Sampras edged by Andre Agassi in three sets on Sunday as the two retired American tennis greats revisited one of the sport's greatest rivalries.
The 3-6, 6-3, 10-8 win in this southern Chinese gambling enclave was the first time the two had played since Sampras won in the 2002 U.S. Open final for his then-record 14th Grand Slam.
The fast indoor surface at The Venetian Macao arena favored Sampras' attacking style, but it was Agassi who came out packing more heat in his serve, showing no signs of the bad back that required four injections during his final tournament, the 2006 U.S. Open. But Sampras, who beat Roger Federer at the same venue in an exhibition two years ago, recovered, serving an ace and using a delicate pickup volley to secure the second set.
He continued his strong form into the super tiebreaker, overwhelming Agassi with his powerful serve. Trailing 9-6, Agassi saved two match points — the second with a down-the-line backhand winner — but Sampras served out the match with another ace.
"Thanks for the exercise," Agassi told Sampras after the match.
The two Americans captivated fans in the 1990s and early 2000s with their contrasting styles and personalities. The reserved Sampras was known for his serve and crafty volleys; the long-haired, neon-wearing Agassi wore down opponents with accurate returns and counter-punching.
Sampras led their head-to-head 20 to 14, including 4 to 1 in Grand Slam finals, the last being Sampras' four-set victory in the 2002 U.S. Open final.
The two former No. 1s have 124 career titles and 22 Grand Slams between them — Agassi has eight and Sampras 14. Agassi is one of only six men to have won all four majors and also won Olympic gold in Atlanta in 1996. Sampras' 14 Slams was a record until Federer won Wimbledon this year, bringing the Swiss star's tally to 15.

MANILA – Former French Open Champion Michael Chang of the United States and Filipino-American tennis ace Cecil Mamiit faced off in an exhibition game that aimed to raise funds for typhoon victims in the Philippines.
Mamiit, his tennis friends and other Fil-Am volunteers were able to generate more than $9,000 or over P400,000.
The Fil-Am Davis Cupper held the tennis fundraiser in Orange County, California before he left for Manila to prepare for the upcoming Southeast Asian Games. He won the SEA Games singles gold medal in 2005.
He said he will give the whole amount to typhoon victims through ABS-CBN’s Sagip Kapamilya.
Chang, for his part, told ABS-CBN News: “I think it's great that Cecil felt that ‘Hey, I'm in a position where could do something about this’ and with the help of different people.”
“To be able to put together an event like this in such a short period of time is not an easy thing to do,” added Chang, who holds the record of being the youngest player to win a grand slam. He bagged the French Open in 1989 as a 17-year-old.
Outpouring of support
Mamiit said he was greatly affected by the news of the devastation caused by typhoons, including “Ondoy” (international code name Ketsana) and “Pepeng” (Parma).
“I'm going back. I would give all the proceeds, everything. I felt bad because when I went back to LA, the typhoons hit,” he shared. “So I haven't been back so I wanted to bring the community together here, all the Fil-Ams... and bring all out all the best - my friends - out here. I'm so glad that they came out to support me.”
"This has been a great event and I'm happy that everybody came out and supported everything,” he stated.
He even personally appealed to members in various Fil-Am tennis clubs in Southern California before the fundraiser.
More charity events
Aside from the Chang vs Mamiit exhibition game, Fil-Am tennis fans were treated to autograph sessions with their idols and other activities.
“This is the easiest way to raise funds and help the people and the victims back home,” said event co-organizer Cherry Carluen.
Mamiit said he was overjoyed with the outpouring of support that is why he is planning to organize other charity events for those in need in the Philippines.
