WATCH: When Andre Agassi Was Spot-On on Roger Federer’s Challenge During All-Star Doubles Match

More than a decade ago, four tennis legends had come to play for a noble cause – the 2010 Haiti earthquake. American Pete Sampras and Swiss Roger Federer had teamed up against American Andre Agassi and Spain’s Rafael Nadal. That day, while the players contributed to the relief fund, Agassi showed his exceptional talent of accuracy.

Played at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California, a crowd of 16,100 had gathered to witness the event. What made the night more special is that the players wore a microphone throughout the match. The 8 time Grand Slam winner Agassi took the opportunity to show how good he still was.

Andre: How fast do you want? Federer: 113 miles

During a serve, Andre asked the Swiss maestro how fast he wanted him to serve. The 23 time Grand Slam winner replied that he would like it really slow.

Further ahead, Roger told him to serve at 113 mph. “Okay, 113 I got this right on the nose,” said the American before hitting the serve. Watch how close the 1996 Olympic Gold medalist delivered.

The American hit it right on the nose and managed to win a point. His ability to control the ball is undoubtedly the trademark of a genius. Even Federer, who asked for it, couldn’t manage to return the serve.

In the end, Federer and Sampras won the match 8-6 against Agassi and Nadal. However, the four managed to put a good show playing for the victims of the earthquake.

Roger has been a part of such events throughout his career; he has made tennis contribute in the best way possible.
