San Jose: Former world No. 1 Pete Sampras hit back-to-back aces to close out the second game of the second set and draw a plea from Tommy Haas.
“Show some mercy, Pete” Haas yelled.
Sampras began to hand his racket over to a ball boy before taking it back. Just as he did so often during his brilliant career, Sampras closed out the match with ease, beating Haas 6-4, 6-2 in an exhibition at the SAP Open on Monday.
It was Sampras’s second straight exhibition win against an active tour player, following November’s straight-set victory over Roger Federer.
