My press pass has been confirmed…

Next week I’ll be driving up to Malaysia for 24 hours to shoot the Malaysia Independence Tennis – Clash of the Times – which will feature a once only match between Roger Federer and Pete Sampras.

Sampras, holder of a record 14 grand slams, retired several years ago but will be coming back to perform in this exhibition match. Federer should also need no introduction. He has been the best player in the world for four years running and will likely beat Sampras’ Grand Slam count within the next 12 – 24 months. Many call him the greatest to have ever played, an unofficial title he’ll almost certainly secure if he ever wins the French.

I’ve heard that Sampras has been training hard again as of late and apparently is still performing at a top flight level. Should be an entertaining match but irrespective of that, it’ll be a great opportunity to see and capture the two greatest players of our generation.
