Article Abstract:

A rivalry is both a sublime and riveting thing, a state attained, when the talents and determination of two contestants are in such perfect equipoise that the outcome of their competitions would be unpredictable and unbearably fraught with tension. A renewal of the classic Agassi-Sampras rivalry, along with many other cases are discussed.
