Pete Sampras of the USA in action against Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina, in the third round of the Australian Open Tennis Championships, played at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia.

Third seed Pete Sampras seems to be running on empty, as for the third time this tournament, the 13-time Grand Slam champion was stretched to the limit before he could win 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 5-7, 6-2.

Sampras advances to the fourth round where he meets 30-year-old Todd Martin.
