Clash of the titans...
I am so jealous of my pal Kenneth Walsh who is going to be at Madison Square Garden tonight for a sold-out best-of-three-set exhibition tennis match between former number one Pete Sampras (now retired) and current world number one Roger Federer who is coming back from illness.
These are two of the greatest tennis players of all time who, between them, have won 12 Wimbledon singles titles. Sampras is the all-time leader with 14 grand slam titles but Federer could tie or surpass him this year or next since he has already won 12 and is still in his prime.
I'm sure Kenneth will write all about it in his fantastic Kennethinthe212 blog which is so smart and snarky!
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
