Sampras out-serves Dent to take second title of the year

Fifth seed Pete Sampras continued his red-hot form by defeating compatriot Taylor Dent in a closely fought battle in the final of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington. The two players took turns to dominate, splitting two 6-0 sets between them, before Sampras was able to edge the third set tie-break to maintain his 100% record against Dent. This title here is Sampras' second in three tournaments on the hard courts of the US and he will be looking to continue with that form throughout the upcoming Masters events and the US Open. For Dent, he has really stepped up his game since Wimbledon and will be looking to win his first title next week in Montreal.
