2011-02-08: Pete played an exhibition match against Gael Monfils yesterday in San Jose and ended up losing in two close sets although he was still happy with his level of tennis: "I felt I played a little better than I did last year and held my own," Sampras said. "Physically, that’s the most I’ve served and volleyed in the last seven years. Not easy. Gael is a great mover, returns well and made me work really hard on my service game. All in all, I’m very happy with the way I played. I had a few chances in the first set that I let slip away. He’s the real deal."
