Federer and Sampras slugging it out


Arriving early in Los Angeles to prepare for next week’s BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, world No. 2 Roger Federer had a chance to catch up with good friend and former world No. 1 Pete Sampras during a two hour hitting session on Friday.
After slugging it out under the warm California sun, the two legends suited up before heading to the Staples Center to catch the L.A. Lakers vs. the Charlotte Bobcats’ game.
Prior to the game’s tip off, Federer and Sampras had a chance to meet Kobe Bryant, as well as Pau Gasol and Phil Jackson.
Federer will be aiming for his fourth title in Palm Springs next week, while Sampras will head to Zurich, Switzerland to take part in a Champions Tour event.
