Kemény meccs volt, Chela nem adta meg magát egykönnyen. Tavaly egyébként Pete öt szettben jutott csak túl rajta ugyanitt.

Sampras started well against Chela and picked up an early break on his way to taking the first set.
Sampras also took the second set, but Chela showed real spirit to recover and win the third set as Sampras' normally reliable first service went awry.

The fourth set developed into a real battle as Chela came back from 2-0 down to level the score, but Sampras dug deep to get the crucial break and set up victory.

- I didn't serve really well but he made me work, it was tough - nyilatkozta a meccs után.
