Watching Sampras vs Agassi will be senior tennis..
This is just cruel, how much will the advertisers milk these guys for money..
Let 'em rest :P
And trust me, there will be the customary "You can't be serious" rant from McEnroe..
You don't like Senior Tennis? ;P
McEnroe & Borg??
That was interesting 30 years ago
That's going to happen in one hours time (8pm) at the Khalifa Tennis Complex. Should be fun.
I might have 3 extra tickets - will give it to those interested free.
Although Tickets should be available at the venue itself - QAR 50 and 20.
I hope they will be some of the lovely Greek Venus statues ;)
