The company is currently placing product on the highly-rated, nationally-syndicated talk shows hosted by Ellen DeGeneres and Sharon Osbourne.

PETE SAMPRAS JOINS TENNIS MAGAZINE AS PART OWNER, CONTRIBUTOR

By Anonymous

LOS ANGELES, October 6, 2003 - Pete Sampras, the tennis legend who officially retired in August at the U.S. Open, has become an investor, partner and special consultant to TENNIS Magazine and TENNIS.com, it was announced today by Bob Miller, CEO of TENNIS Magazine, and Bob Kain, co-CEO of IMG, which represents Sampras. This new dual role is his first post-retirement corporate commitment.

“TENNIS Magazine has always been the leader and the pulse of the industry,” Sampras says. “It’s definitely a way for me to remain involved in tennis while helping to grow and improve the sport. I share the vision of TENNIS’ owners Bob Miller and George Mackin, and I look forward to this partnership.”

“We are honored to have Pete join us at TENNIS and we are eager to begin working with him,” Miller says. “Pete’s insights into the sport and his passion for the game will be tremendous resources for our readers and advertisers.”

“With Pete joining Chris Evert, who has served as our publisher since 2000, we now have arguably the greatest male and female U.S. tennis players in history on board at TENNIS Magazine,” says Mackin.

Sampras will become involved in TENNIS Magazine’s corporate and marketing efforts and will contribute articles and instruction pieces to the publication. He will also participate in specific magazine endeavors with advertisers, tennis associations and TENNIS Magazine-sponsored events.

Paul Annacone, Sampras’ longtime coach and adviser, and a current TENNIS Magazine contributor, will continue in that role as well as work with Sampras and the business and editorial staffs of the magazine.

Sampras’ record 14 Grand Slam singles titles included seven Wimbledon crowns, five U.S. Open championships and two Australian Open titles over a 15-year career. As a 19-year-old, he became the youngest man ever to win the U.S. Open. He finished his career with another U.S. Open title in 2002 at what became his final tournament-a thrilling four-set victory over longtime rival Andre Agassi in Arthur Ashe Stadium. With that victory, Sampras, at 31, became the oldest U.S. Open winner since Ken Rosewall (35) in 1970, and the oldest Grand Slam winner since Arthur Ashe won Wimbledon in 1975. Sampras won 64 career singles titles, and finished six straight seasons (1993-1998) as the No. 1 ranked player in the world, breaking the record previously held by Jimmy Connors. He was a member of the U.S. Davis Cup team for eight years, helping the United States to titles in 1992 and 1995.

TENNIS Magazine is the premier publication serving the tennis community. Published ten times a year, TENNIS Magazine serves as the primary source of information and instruction for more than 700,000 paid subscribers consisting of fans and avid tennis players of all levels of expertise. In addition, TENNIS Magazine owns and operates a number of industry events throughout the year, including the annual TENNIS Magazine Grand Slam in New York City and Demo Days held throughout the United States. TENNIS Magazine is owned by Miller Publishing Group, headquartered in Los Angeles, Calif., with operating offices in New York. For more information, visit www.TENNIS.com.
