In a special event featuring three matches on the day, a 45-minute timed singles match between the two juniors will be followed by Sampras and Agassi renewing their famous rivalry one more time in a best of three set encounter, where if tied at a set apiece, the players will play out a deciding match tiebreak. In the final contest of the day, a dream one for the two youngsters, they will each team up with one of the legends, to take part in a fairytale doubles encounter. Yuki commented "To play with Andre Agassi or Pete Sampras is of course a dream for any aspiring tennis player. To play with both is simply amazing. To do it in front of 15,000 people is beyond description. To say I am excited, is an understatement." His opponent Ryan said "To travel to Macao to participate in an event featuring two of the greatest American players of all time is a huge privilege and an honour, and extremely motivating to me to train and improve, in the hope that I may one day achieve a few of the things that they have achieved." Bhambri is the world's no.1 ranked junior, and the first Indian to ever win the Junior Australian Open title. After winning back-to-back ATP Futures titles earlier this year, he made a winning debut for India in the Davis Cup last month against South Africa. Harrison meanwhile is the highest ranked American junior in the world, and holds the distinction of being the third youngest player in history to win a match in the main draw of an ATP Tour event.
