MACAU (AP) -- Pete Sampras notched a win to wrap up a three-match exhibition series against Roger Federer.
Sampras never faced a break point and handed Federer a 7-6 (8), 6-4 defeat Saturday at the Venetian Macao arena, finishing 1-2 against the top-ranked Swiss player.
Sampras downplayed his victory, noting Federer was coming off a long season and he was helped by his big serve and the fast indoor carpet surface. His goal was to win one set during the three-match series.
"Let's not get carried away," he said at a news conference.
Sampras* ruled out a comeback from retirement, telling the audience after the match, "I had my time in the 90s."
