What happened?

What happened?

Sampras in typical hit and giggle fashion imitated Aggasi's pigeon toed walk, but in return Agassi pulled his empty pockets out of his pants and called Sampras a bad tipper (as referenced in his book). It got tense between the two after that, lots of stares, pregnant pauses and lip biting. It was completely uncalled for on the part of Agassi but it was a fascinating insight into their relationship for the events to turn so tense for absolutely no reason at all.

I'm sure Steffi will have some choice words for him tonight. TC is repeating the event right now.

What happened?

There was some good-hearted trash talking throughout the first part of the match. Then Pete imitated Andre's pigeon-toed walk and instead of taking it in good fun, Andre started in on how stingy Pete is. That's when I turned it off, so I don't know where it went from there.

You'd think players on tour would have the more intense rivalry. Seems the exact opposite.

oh-oh

No tennis for Andre's and Steffi's kids?

I guess their crazy tennis fathers turned them off to it.

I haven't been able to follow, can you guys post some results?

The ugliness started much earlier with Andre talking about Sampras being bald. As Andre should know, he wore a wig for God's sake, you don't out someone trying to hold onto their hair. He was always an ass and school/faux zen notwithstanding, he is still so terribly damaged. And his wife talked about tennis as if it was the devil's activity. Not a good night for their house.

wife should have been in quotes..."wife"

I'm sure Pete had a hand in the way things unfolded. Don't think he is some innocent angel when it comes to his releationship with Andre.

Further...Andre and Steffi have a very unique perspective on tennis and on being tennis parents. Just because they don't want to inflict on their children what was inflicted on them doesn't mean they think tennis is the "devils activity". Both of them love tennis very much.

Lastly...Andre isn't any more or less of an ass than anyone else on the tour.
