| Agassi: Andre Jr. will beat Pete Jr. Associated Press | |||
LOS ANGELES -- Andre Agassi beat rival Pete Sampras to win
the Mercedes-Benz Cup, then joked that the baby he and Steffi Graf
are expecting would beat a future Sampras offspring.
"I've got a hundred bucks that says my baby beats Pete's
baby," Agassi told the crowd Sunday at the Los Angeles Tennis
Center.
Agassi and Graf are expecting a baby boy in December. Graf
dominated women's tennis with a lethal forehand before retiring in
1999.
"I've got genetics on my side," Agassi later told reporters.
Sampras married actress Bridgette Wilson last September. They
have yet to start a family, but Sampras believes his 6-foot-1
height combined with Wilson's 5-9 stature would be an advantage
over the 5-11 Agassi and 5-9 Graf.
"The only thing is if I have a little girl, I could be in
trouble," Sampras said, noting that parental tennis ability didn't
impact his success.
"My parents didn't pick up a racket and I turned out all
right." Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories | |
