The relevance of the match, to me, was seeing Pete Sampras playing again. It was obvious that age difference was a huge factor- specially with Pete's serve! He started off serving some bombs, but as the match progressed he couldnt keep it up IMO. At the net, when he could arrive in time to hit a volley, you could see why he is such a genius- great volleys.
At the back of the court, as expected, Roger took control of the match- even if he lost a bit of focus right on the begining of the match and lost his serve. The second set was pretty routine: Roger broke once Pete's serve and coasted.
I dont think the match was boring: unless you expected it to be some real showdown between those two. As I wrote, my approach to the match was: lets see Pete playing. On that sense, it was fun to watch Pete serving and volleying!
