The ultimate exhibition between Roger Federer and Pete Sampras will take place on Saturday November 24th, at the Venetian Arena, Macao. Make sure not to miss this showdown between two of the best tennis players of our time.I am not a big believer of stats. That said, there are several interesting coincidences about the careers of Pete and Roger. And unsuprising it is. Though they have vastly different approach to tennis as well as slams, here is an attempt to celebrate the coincidences rather than as a comparison between them.
Sampras and Federer were both born in August ten years apart. Federer's birthday is August 08, 1981, while Sampras's is August 12, 1971. And the grandslams make up this way too. For example, Federer won Wimbledon 2005 at the age of 23, while Sampras won Wimbledon 1995, at the same age of 23. And so on.. get the drift?
