Tennis great Pete Sampras has listed his 1,503-square-metre house in the tony LA suburb of Thousand Oaks for sale with price hopes of US$19.95 million. The "King of Swing" and his wife, Bridgitte Wilson-Sampras, have reportedly bought a smaller house in LA's Brentwood area.

The house, on eight hectares, has unobstructed 360-degree views, a home theatre, a poker room and, naturally, a tennis court. It also includes a 111-square-metre fully contained guest house. 

JoAnn Levine of Bob and JoAnn Levine real estate is marketing the property, whose marketing describes it as "celebrity-owned". 

The 14-time Grand Slam winner listed the house in March 2010 with price hopes of $25 million. For that price, it would have to be real estate love.
