Sampras started out strong before Federer took over and dominated.
Quoted: Sampras came out fighting, hitting two fierce aces in his first service game and breaking his opponent's serve, before taking a 4-2 lead courtesy of a delightful drop shot.

Good point..nothing settled.
Quoted: But as far as settling who might be the better of the two, forget about it. Sampras, lacking match play, is now 36 years old and in his sixth year of retirement. Federer, a decade younger, is in the midst of perhaps the worst start of his career.

The 26-year old Federer edged the 36-year old Sampras in this exhibition match.
Quoted: "I don't think winning or losing was really the issue tonight," said Federer, who perhaps found it easier to think that way as Monday turned into Tuesday, given that he did come out on top 6-3, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (6). "The winner was tennis. The winner was tennis in America."

s, I agree with the below quote from Sampras. However, I'm skeptical that Sampras at 34 would be able to come back and be a serious threat.
Quoted: "They're just staying back and Roger is able to move well enough and dictate well enough. With Roger you just have to beat him. You just have to serve well and attack him."

You must be Mohit's friend before you can comment on this Fave.i gotta say - not bad considering sampras has been in retirement and federer is at the top of his game. impressive!
I watched his Seniors Tour debut on TV (a win over Todd Martin) in May. He looked pretty good there. He's in his mid-30's right? Seems odd that he's on the 'Seniors Tour'.
He's 36 I believe.
yeah, it's depressing that in tennis, mid-30s means seniors...
