50 of The Best - Pete Sampras Rallies and Shots in Grand Slams

[@bettym5148]

Totally the best man! no one can serve and volley and have aces like him even today

[@hassehougaard5120]

What a delight ...thank you for that !............Never get tired of watching the legend ! GOAT And also nice touch with Mcenroe`s closing comment !

[@sffg9671]

awesome video, Pete was a beast and his running forehand was a killer

[@arvinjuntereal1004]

My favourite tennis player of all time.

[@dinomijatovic3921]

What a treat thank you! Our 90’s idol!

[@biyorkman]

All of these are great points, all of them. He is full of talent. His ability to turn a critical situation around in one fell swoop is the best of all time. There will never be another talent like him.

[@hasiemwily1947]

Sampras is the Greatest Fast court player!!

[@rogerparker4468]

Sampras and Woods....athletes supreme. Lucky to have witnessed their prime years playing my 2 favorite sports.

[@Marekxk]

11:15 just look at the best movement and touch on grasscourt. Unbelievable point, out of this world. 👍👍👍

[@andrewwills8516]

Pete's awesome 😎 I hope he and his family are well God bless 😎

[@suatkayatennis]

Thanks for this amazing upload (coming from a huge Agassi fan). Sampras celebrated a record six consecutive seasons (1993-98) as the world No 1. He won at least one major title for eight straight years (1993-2000), and appeared in at least one Wimbledon or US Open final for 12 of the last 13 years of his career. He was victorious in 14 of the 18 Grand Slam finals he appeared in, a big match player of unparalleled stature, and collected major titles 12 years apart (the 1990 and 2002 US Opens), a mark no other man has matched in the open era. While many champions pioneer new ways of playing, or at least go with the flow of their eras, Sampras traveled back in time to find his game. Until he was 13, he played the standard style of his day, swinging with two hands on his backhand and grinding from the baseline. But with a pro career and the slick grass at Wimbledon in mind, Sampras made the difficult decision to switch to a one-hander and transform himself into a net-rusher. If those things were good enough for his hero, Rod Laver, they must be good enough for him. Please upload some more 🥳

[@BurnsTennis]

Thanks for the comments. Its also interesting how Sampras has influenced loads of players who came after him. Serena and Sharapova's service motion, Del Potro, Dimitrov, Djokovic etc etc. I have more clips planned. What I like about these clips is a mixture of long rallies of 14 plus shots and imrprovisation, defending and attacking.

[@suatkayatennis]

@@BurnsTennis You are so welcome mate. Sampras influence on modern tennis is a little bit underated imo. I looking forward to the upcoming uploads. Keep up the great work 👍

[@suatkayatennis]

@@BurnsTennis Please check out my tribute video of Pete Sampras : kzbin.info/www/bejne/anLSdH-hqbuqZqs

[@BurnsTennis]

@@suatkayatennis Thanks checked it out. I see the Liverpool shirt by the way ;-) Regularly went to home and away matches for most of the 1990s up until 2001. I was a member of the supporters club London branch. saw some incredible matches at Anfield, historic ones.

[@suatkayatennis]

@@BurnsTennis Nice thats fantastic.Im a huge Liverpool fan and i barely miss a game when they play. Fowler was the most spectacular Liverpool in the 90s imo. I hope they can beat Chelsea today.

[@carlosrecuerdaruiz2948]

Even Federer is APPLAUDING ! ❤😂😮

[@sittingfool2727]

Thank you, Mr Burns!

[@andrequemel1849]

The real Goat Pistol Pete!

[@vee2915]

Nice collection Honorable mentions might be a. Passing shot at US open 2002 final . 4th set that d setup a BP.(ultimately the final break) b. Passing shot in 2000 wim final. Second set tb. Being 1-4 down. c.passing shot in 2000 wim final. Final set break pt.

[@VinayakPande53]

I had a feeling the rally from the 1995 U.S. Open final would be number one.

[@BurnsTennis]

Yes I feel this point is getting the props it deserves. Amazing it took place so long ago yet the pace and dynamism stands with anything today.

[@INseelan]

This collection is better than ATP ones. :)

[@BurnsTennis]

This might sound crazy but I want to do another 50, I have loads in reserve :-0

[@martingrigio4202]

GOAT

[@matthewturner2803]

Superb player

[@egorgeroev3597]

Great video, thanks. Have exhibition's matches from Sampras? Maybe 2006 - 2010.

[@BurnsTennis]

Thanks. I would like to see the match against Courier in 2006 when he won 6-1 6-3 or something like that. He didn't play for four years, while Courier was still playing lost of exos, and Sampras still beat Courier easily. Must have brought back memories for Courier.

[@sennagalisfan]

Sampras the real GOAT

[@BurnsTennis]

By the way, I hope Stefanos Tsitsipas learns to hit passing shots like these. Stefanos needs a lot of work in that department.

[@egorgeroev3597]

Remember strong point on Sampras-Agassi on Cincinatti

[@BurnsTennis]

That is one of my favourite points of all time, if not my absolute favourite. I still recall watching the match live on Eurosport back in 1999. Only Grand Slam and Davis Cup points here. No ATP points this time :-)

[@bensmithkent22]

Literally cant wait for gta 6 and the tennis minigame in miami. My online character is called servebot_sampras as only gamers of a certain vintage will remember this man. Hes dressed like claude from gta 3 too sometimes go for the tommy vercetti outfit.

[@BurnsTennis]

For those interested, I've done 50 More, premiering at 9pm GMT kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6WQXn6OibKYmas

[@Vipa567]

Can you a video on his best defensive rallies?

[@BurnsTennis]

I did a couple of videos where Pete turns defence to attack here kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3eaf5aajdqnp9k

[@kextrz]

I usually don't do this, praising a player while criticizing the opponent. I'll do an exception for what happens at 33:14. Run Bruguera! Run! Just like you enjoy running your mouth.

[@4rct1c9Ic3m4n]

18:07 That's not coming back

[@stevecharles-hall6838]

Not the best

[@BurnsTennis]

Let us know when you have done some work, put together 50 clips, upload it to KZbin, then send a link for us to enjoy.

[@robertreyes5036]

@@BurnsTennisprobably a Fed meat rider. Thank you for the Sampras clips. Dude is massively unappreciated. Sampras was my childhood hero and to this day I idolize him. Humble, not flashy, didn’t want attention, and let his work do his talking
