Looks like there probably wont be too many exos between these two guys anymore. They just cant seem to get along, although I find it entertaining, its a shame they cant even play an exo

Why would Agassi tell him to take it easy though, I can see where Sampras would get pissed at that. I know it's an exo but somebody's gotta lose either way....

anyways though, this is kinda silly. It's funny when adults act like children, like when they described in the article how Pete and Andre never once came into contact with each other at the hotel in Argentina.

It is kinda lame saying "don't play so well" lol, sure exhos are friendly and a chance to show off but someone still has to win and lose, its still a competition.

Personally I wish players would try harder in exos. Instead of trying to extend every rally I'd like to see them go for crazy shots and angles you don't see them try in tour matches.

So many exos degenerate into this 'funny' thing with both guys chatting, making jokes, blahblahblah...I hate that!!!

Now THIS is what an exhibition match should be like!!
