First match that Pete Sampras is to play since he retired.

I've never heard of the River Oaks International. I heard Sampras would be joining the World Team Tennis league, which may be televised on the Tennis Channel (I dunno, cause I only get basic cable). Pretty much if you wanna watch anything besides a grand slam, then the Tennis Channel is the only channel that might cover it.

These two sides have both defended really well. I think this game will come down to who gets their attacking game in order and dominates this area of play. If I were Klinsman though I would not be subbing Klose as early as he did today.

Federer vs. Nadal on clay in 2007, because their previous matches have been close on clay (In Rome 2006, Federer had match points to win in the fifth set).  Also Federer has now beat him two times in a row (not on clay) and I think has a better idea how to play him having played him so many times.  The mental edge is with the World Number 1 Roger Federer right now.  GO FED EXPRESS!!!!

roger federer is the best & he will win.\n\nRoger Federer\n\nRoger Federer is a Swiss professional tennis player who in 2004 became the 23rd World No. 1 in tennis. He is currently the No. 1 player in the world (and defending this title since February 2004) and (as of 9 June 2006) is working on the second-longest consecutive stay in the Men's World No. 1 ranking. Only Ivan Lendl and Jimmy Connors surpass him in this record.\n\nIn 2004, Federer became the first man since Mats Wilander in 1988 to win three out of four Grand Slam events in the same year. He is widely regarded as the dominant player of his era and is already considered to be one of the greatest players of all time.\n\nCountry Switzerland \nResidence Oberwil, Switzerland \nDate of birth 8 August 1981 \nPlace of birth Basel, Switzerland \nHeight 185 cm (6 ft 1 in) \nWeight 80 kg (177 lb) \nTurned Pro 1998 \nPlays Right, Single hand backhand \nCareer Prize Money $22,629,383 \nSingles \nCareer record: 429-123 \nCareer titles: 37 (13th in overall rankings) \nHighest ranking: No. 1 (2 February 2004) \nGrand Slam results \nAustralian Open W (2004 • 06) \nFrench Open F (2006 - ongoing*) \nWimbledon W (2003 • 04 • 05) \nU.S. Open W (2004 • 05) \nDoubles \nCareer record: 101-66 \nCareer titles: 7 \n\nBiography\nFederer was born August 8, 1981 in Basel, Switzerland in the small city of Binningen, to Robert Federer and Lynette Federer. He grew up 10 minutes from Basel proper, in suburban Münchenstein.\n\nHis parents met while his father was on a business trip to South Africa for a Basel-based chemical company for which they both worked. Lynette was born and raised in Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa. Lynette no longer works at the company and is now a manager at the Roger Federer Foundation. Robert is still with the Ciba Specialty Chemicals, in sales.\n\nRoger has an elder sister, Diana, who is a nurse, and lives in the Basel area. He speaks three languages (German, French and English) fluently and conducts press conferences in all of them.\n\nFederer spends his off-court time playing card games, table tennis, other sports and sitting on the beach. He currently resides in Oberwil, Switzerland, and is dating former WTA player and fellow Swiss Miroslava Vavrinec (Mirka), who retired from the game in 2002 after a foot injury; the two met at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.\n\nHe co-established the Roger Federer Foundation in December 2003. Its goals include funding projects that benefit disadvantaged children, primarily in South Africa. In January 2005, he encouraged efforts from tennis players for the people affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, saying he would play as many matches as possible in tournaments organized to raise funds for the tsunami victims and auctioned off his autographed rackets to raise funds for UNICEF's relief operations.\n\nFederer also launched a fragrance and cosmetics line called RF Cosmetics in October 2003.\n\nOn April 3, 2006, Federer was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador to UNICEF [1], which helps poor children around the world.\n\nTennis\n\nCareer\nRoger Federer started playing tennis at the age of eight. 1998 was Federer's last year in the Junior circuits; he won the Wimbledon Juniors title and the prestigious year-ending Orange Bowl. Federer joined the ATP tour in July 1998 but finished the year as the ITF World Junior Tennis champion. In 1999, he debuted for the Swiss Davis Cup team. He finished the year as the youngest player inside the ATP's top 100.\n\nIn 2000, he reached the semi-finals in the Sydney Olympics, but lost the bronze-medal match. He lost to Arnaud Di Pasquale of France by 7-6(7-5) 6-7(7-9) 6-3. He also reached the finals in Basel and Marseille but did not win either of them.\n\nIn February 2001, Federer won his first ATP tournament in Milan. He also won three matches for his country in the Davis Cup in a 3-2 victory over the United States. He advanced to the quarterfinals in the fourth round. He finished

Final Day 1986 US Masters, Jack Nicklaus wins his 18th and final Major as the Great White Shark Collapses. \n1986 was also the year Willie Shoemaker won the Derby on 20-1 longshot Ferdinand. But Nicklaus triumph was special.\n\nI think George Foreman stopping Michael Moorer was great as did Pete Sampras defeating Agassi to win his Final US Open, but the joy I had in seeing Nicklaus win was something special.\n\nAnd I don't even play golf.

For men, you'd have to say Pete Sampras.  He won Wimbledon 7 times, against relatively tough competition.  For clay, I'd probably pick Borg who won the French Open six times.  Although I'd believe a modern player like Nadal would beat Borg, that has as much to do with modern equipment as anything.  For hard courts, I'll pick Ivan Lendl.  Lendl had perhaps the worst win record of anyone of his talent, but he reached the U.S. Open final from 1982-1989, which is 8 consecutive years in a row, and he won it 3 years in a row.  Had Lendl been just a little tougher mentally, he would be considered the best player ever.\n\nFor doubles, hmm, I'll go with the classic of John McEnroe and Peter Fleming, although there were many very talented doubles teams.  Its popularity has fallen due to a lack of a top singles player.\n\nFor women on grass, I'll pick Martina Navratilova. I know. She won Wimbledon 9 times, and she was a finalist 3 more times.  That's a lot of times to reach the finals.  Steffi Graf won 7 times as a baseliner, but I prefer to see a serve and volleyer on grass, especially considering how few women play this style of tennis anymore.  On clay, Chris Evert was the queen of clay, winning the French Open 7 times and reaching the finals twice more.  Women's hard courts is a close call.  Martina won the US Open on hard court 4 times, but was finalist 4 more times.  Steffi Graf won it 5 times, and was finalist 3 more times.  I'll give the edge to Graf. \n\nFor women's doubles, I'd pick Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver.  They're the only doubles player to win the Grand Slam.  They won 109 matches in a row, a record.\n\nIf you had to pick mixed doubles, you'd have to pick Margaret Court who won a mixed Grand Slam in 1963 with Ken Fletcher, then again in 1965, with three different partners (John Newcombe, Ken Fletcher, Fred Stolle).

federer has a more complete game but sampras would be tough to beat when his first serves percentage is high

One thing is that hes in incredible shape. Next time you watch him play, notice he isnt sweating much halfway into the match. Meanwhile, his opponent is visibly getting worn and cant keep up with Federer's pace. Another thing is he has great athletic ability. Meaning, he makes great saves/shots left and right, so he almost never gets beat by a great shot. Most of all though...he's extremely FOCUSED!!!

I too am not a fan of the big serve, but with Sampras you get probably the all-time most effective first and second serves, outstanding volleys, and a strong forehand. He also competes in the classy manner of the Australian pros--no trash talk, just competing to their utmost.\nSo, I'm glad he is playing in WTT. This is an opportunity for the newer generation to meet the older. Given the format of WTT, conditioning is less a factor, and oldsters can often do surprisingly well.

Ernie Els and Annika Sorenstam would be my choices. They are both great golfers, proven winners and yet they are also really personable and soft spoken people as well. Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus are probably the two greatest golfing legends, but they are probably a bit too competetive for what would preferably be a nice day out on the course. Tom Watson is also someone I would enjoy playing with I think.

For the men Federer, but it would be great if Agassi could pull it out.    For the women, Henin-Hardinne
