Agassi Wins 19 Straight Points To Grease No. 1 Sampras, Then Invites Him To Broadway

Compiled From Wire Services

Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras served up another winner Sunday, then headed for Broadway.

Agassi beat Sampras 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3) to win the Lipton Championships, but offered his rival and Davis Cup teammate a consolation prize - a trip to New York to watch “Grease.”

Agassi’s girlfriend, Brooke Shields, is starring in the Broadway musical.

Agassi, who leads Sampras 2-1 this year, seized the momentum in their latest encounter by winning a stunning 19 consecutive points before clinching the match by playing an almost flawless tiebreaker.
