Former World No. 1 and 14-time Grand Slam champion Pete Sampras will play at charity exhibition singles match against Top 10 star Fernando Verdasco to kick-off the SAP Open in San Jose on Monday, 8 February at 7 p.m.
Andy Roddick, Radek Stepanek, Tommy Haas, Tomas Berdych, Lleyton Hewitt and Sam Querrey will join Verdasco in the main draw of the ATP World Tour 250 hard-court tennis tournament.
“When you play a current player that's a really good player like Fernando, it's not going to be easy for me,” admitted 38-year-old Sampras, who captured the 1996 and 1997 SAP Open titles. “I kind of have to get to work here a little bit and hopefully play well. It's always a good crowd that night, great atmosphere.
“I'm looking forward to playing [Verdasco]. I've seen him playing quite a bit over the last few years, and he's got a big game and he's one of top players in the world. He serves well, huge forehand. It's gonna be a competitive match. That's what I'm hoping for.”
