Sampras, Agassi, McEnroe, Lendl to play at MSGTennis Betting Lines06/29/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York's Madison Square Garden will host an exhibition tennis event in February, as Pete Sampras will play former long- time rival Andre Agassi and John McEnroe will take on former arch-rival Ivan Lendl. The former world No. 1s Sampras, Agassi, McEnroe and Lendl, who own a combined 37 Grand Slam singles titles and 295 ATP titles, will compete in the 2011 BNP Paribas Showdown on Monday, February 28. "When Roger Federer and I played at The Garden a few years ago, it was an electric night," Sampras said. "I expect that it will be that way again when Andre and I play. It should be a lot of fun." Sampras and Agassi will square off in a best-of-three-set affair, while McEnroe and Lendl will do battle in a one-set pro match (first player to eight games). "To have the opportunity to play Pete at Madison Square Garden is thrilling," Agassi said. "Playing in front of the New York fans has always been exciting and I'm sure Pete and I will give them something to cheer about." The 14-time major titlist Sampras defeated the eight-time Grand Slam winner Agassi in three U.S. Open finals here in New York, including the 2002 title tilt, which marked the last official match of Sampras' brilliant career. The seven-time major champion McEnroe and eight-time Grand Slam titlist Lendl met in two U.S. Open finals in New York, with McEnroe winning in 1984 and Lendl prevailing in 1985. McEnroe captured four U.S. Open titles, while Lendl settled for three. "I have been going to Madison Square Garden since I was 8, and I have played some of my best tennis there," McEnroe said. "I am very happy to have the chance to play Ivan Lendl again in The World's Most Famous Arena." "I am really looking forward to playing in The Garden again," Lendl said. "I have so many great memories from matches with John there. It should be a great night for tennis."
