No, you're not reading a headline from 1997. This is 2007 and former world number one Pete Sampras survived three match points to beat Todd Martin Sunday in the championship match of the $142,000 Champions Cup Boston, the second tournament of the 2007 Outback Champions Series.
In his debut on the tour for retired ATP players, Sampras picked up right where he left off adter his last competitive match back in 2002 when he defeated Andre Agassi to win his fifth U.S. Open crown. The final score against Martin was 6-3, 5-7, 11-9 (Match Tie-Break).
I can't say I'm too surprised. i watched Sampras play Andy Roddick in a charity exhibition last fall and he BEAT Roddick which Andy did not seem happy about.
In the third-place playoff also on Sunday, John McEnroe beat Outback Champions Series co-founder Jim Courier 6-2, 6-3.

The tournament featured an eight-man round-robin format with the winner of each four-player division meeting in the title match and the second-place finishers from each division playing in the third-place match. To be eligible to compete in the Outback Champions Series, players must have reached at least a Grand Slam singles final, been ranked in the top five in the world or played singles on a championship Davis Cup team.
Can you imagine how popular these events would be if Andre Agassi gets hungry to compete again? Let's hope he does!
