Sunday, 08 Nov 2009
myFOXaustin - Tennis legend Pete Sampras won 14 career Grand Slam Titles, but even he could not tame the rain as torrential showers postponed the Austin Tennis Classic in Lakeway.
The event helps raise money for the charity Children of Fallen Soldiers. Sampras' scheduled exhibition match with Todd Martin will try to be re-scheduled for sometime in December.
Fox 7's Dave Cody asked Sampras about Andre Agassi, who recently admitted taking crystal meth as a tour player in 1997.
"I didn't know what to say," said Sampras. "I respect (Agassi), he's a friend of mine, he was my main rival in the 90's and I tell him flat out he made a mistake absolutely. I said 'what were you thinking and to lie about it', but I look at Andre in the mid 20's and his late 20's - it was like a different guy."
