The last matchup is our 4-5 battle ... and it's a showdown that you've seen a few times before.

Andre Agassi


Seed: 4

Age: 31

Occupation: World's No. 7-ranked tennis player

Steffi Graf
Graf
Significant other: Married former tennis star Steffi Graf on Oct. 22, 2001. Divorced actress Brooke Shields in April 1999 after a two-year marriage.

Why we'd want to be this dude: He's so cool that he even managed to make tennis hip. Agassi has won 49 career tournaments, including the career Grand Slam. ... He was also born and raised in Las Vegas, which is every dude's favorite city. ... Page 2 hasn't forgotten Steffi's memorable photo spread in the 1997 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. ... Nor have we forgotten "Blue Lagoon" or any of Brooke's Calvin Klein commercials. ... Was smart enough to have a child with Steffi, virtually guaranteeing that his kid will always be able to whip Sampras' kid on the court. ... He's one of the few white men who can pull off the shaved head look.

Brooke Shields
Shields
Why we wouldn't want to be this dude: His wife will always be the better tennis player. ... When he had Brooke, he stunk on the court -- a fact that has already confused Page 2. ... Photos of his infamous mullet from the 1980s are still in wide circulation. ... Those "Image is Everything" commercials were very lame.

Pete Sampras


Seed: 5

Age: 30

Occupation: World's No. 25-ranked tennis player

Bridgette Wilson
Wilson
Significant other: Married actress Bridgette Wilson in September 2000. Formerly dated actress Kimberly Williams of "Father of the Bride" fame.

Why we'd want to be this dude: Has won more Grand Slam singles tournaments (13) than any man in history -- which means he's had a better (and certainly more consistent) tennis career than Agassi. ... It'd be pretty cool to just walk into a room and say, "I'm married to the chick from 'Billy Madison.' " ... He also has amassed more than $40 million in career winnings. ... He's got one of the most powerful serves in the history of tennis, and Page 2 is more about unleashing a powerful serve than being able to return a powerful serve.

Why we wouldn't want to be this dude: He's not exactly off the charts on the charisma scale. ... Despite all his Grand Slam success, he has never won the French Open -- and we hate jinxes. ... Steve Martin is probably really peeved about the way he jilted Williams.
