DVR Alert: Old School Tennis!

Thanks to reader Rob for noticing that the cool folks in tennis took a very slight risk and played an exhibition featuring retro equipment, something that should have happened in golf by now.

Pete Sampras -- playing with a '70s wooden tennis racket -- will take on fellow champion John McEnroe, who will be armed with the latest equipment, in an exhibition match for the Armory Direct TV Old School Challenge on Aug. 25. Also using older rackets will be doubles champs Bob and Mike Bryan, who will take on Luke and Murphy Jensen, with today's technology. Tickets for the event at the Lexington Armory, in the run-up to the US Open, are invitation-only, and the matches, on Direct TV and the Tennis Channel, will be topped off with a concert by Cee Lo Green and a DJ set by Doug E. Fresh.

My local listings for the Tennis Channel says it will air Sunday morning from 9-12 PT.
