Check out two prima donnas in Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras insult each other at a charity match and both get all hurt and snipe at each other like junior high school girls. (I’m not sure I get the Obama reference by Sampras but maybe you guys might)
But this definitely makes me think that microphones on tennis players might be the best innovation. You want ratings? Have Serena yelling at Venus that she borrowed and stretched out her favorite tube top. Instant cat fight. Mega ratings.
This could save tennis folks.

Nope, I did not get the Obama comment at all.
It was all in fun at first. Funny how quickly it turned into serious sniping. Yikes!

In reference to the Obama joke, I'm pretty sure that Pete S fell into the cracks of everyone else feeling it necessary to reference Obama for absolutley no reason thinking that it would get the crowd for his side of the tiff. what a sell out! unfortunate

Nah, I think he's referring to being a lousy tipper and not subscribing to Obama's share-the-wealth philosophy. A little obscure and more accurate if Sampas had the ability to make the guy behind him pay double the tip to make up for it.

In a related story, John McEnroe has announced that he will be coming out of retirement.

I think it was an oblique way of saying he doesn't "share the wealth". Ha!

I didn't watch this, but the first one they did before the Aussie Open was fun, free and easy. They had more players, too. Doubles with substitution and even a triples game.haha
