The ultimate tennis experience is the Grand Slam first week or a thrilling five set final. But things can always be improved…
I can dream can’t I? If I could produce one night of exhibition tennis here’s what it would be…
All matches are one set normal scoring. No post match interviews on court. No music on changeovers. No showboating emcees. Just pure tennis inside Madison Square Garden.
Here is my proposed First Annual Super Slam…
Match 1: John McEnroe vs 16 year old Teodor Davidov, the famous ambidextrous teenager.
Match 2: Bill Ackman and Jack Sock vs Ben Stiller and Sam Querrey.
Match 3. The Woodys or Bryans vs Taylor Townsend and Katarina Siniakova.
Match 4: Andre Agassi vs. Elena Rybakina
Match 5: Pete Sampras vs. Coco Gauff
Match 6: Rafael Nadal vs Alexandra Eala
Match 7: Roger Federer and Serena Williams vs. Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova

Not bad but I’d swap out Ben Stiller for Elizabeth Shue or Redfoo.

Steve, you’re right, Stiller looked low level in that MSG hit with Delpo. And he hasn’t improved Also add Su Wei Hsieh vs the boys 14s national champ.
