Sampras survives gruelling test

Pete Sampras was made to endure another gruelling four-set match in the Australian Open as he struggled to overcome Czech Bohdan Ulihrach in the second round in Melbourne.

After coming through what he described as a four-set "dog-fight" with Karol Kucera on Monday night - actually Tuesday morning by the time it finished - Sampras was forced to dig in after falling a break down.
