Samprasfanz

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia (Sept 14, 2008) – Tickets for the “Clash of Times” event featuring world number one and 12-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer against tennis legend Pete Sampras will go on sale tomorrow.

Tickets for the exhibition match are priced between RM83 to RM443.

The classic showdown will take place on Nov 22 at the Malawati Stadium in Shah Alam.

Another match to look forward to is the one featuring world number two and three-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal against France’s top player and Wimbledon semi-finalist Richard Gasquet on Nov 20.

Tickets for this match are priced between RM83 to RM403.

“We are expecting a big demand for tickets. We expect a sell-out,” said Lincoln Venancio, managing director of Entertainment Group Limited, the organisers for the event.

“The two greats have played once before with Federer prevailing in a close five-set match at Wimbledon which marked the beginning of the end of the Sampras era and the start of Federer’s domination of the sport,” said Venancio.

Seven-time Wimbledon champion and holder of 14 Grand Slam titles “Pistol” Pete will confront the Federer “Express” in a 12,000-seat arena on a medium speed indoor carpet at 8pm.

Tickets will be available through Ticketpro at +603 7880 7999, www.ticketpro.com.my and www.Entertainment-Group-Ltd.com.
