PETE SAMPRAS 2008- A CHAMPION'S MIND

[@marstonrobert]

The best first serve ever! ANYONE else agree??

[@HishamGamal1]

*second serve

[@aleksthegreat4130]

He was all around player

[@michelez715]

Best first serve ever AND best second serve, too.

[@MrBjorn6]

@@michelez715 Isner has better first serve 🤔

[@qnelson1000]

ABSOLUTELY! PISTOL PETE!!!

[@we5xz-gt1]

Awesome Pete.

[@pps1fan]

Totally agree with you there...until Nadal who really challenged Federer in his Grand Slam victories?? Pete Sampras had so much more competition when he won his 14 Grand Slams! I'm loving seeing Federer made to sweat finally! Nadal's so deserving of his success because he's earnt it through sheer hard work and determination!

[@adamblister6005]

Sampras made the game look easier than anyone.

Except on clay.

@szs voc Grass aint tennis.

[@Aquaboy99]

@@srkucrickk well, the sport was invented on grass.

[@pps1fan]

It is you that needs to seek help...what a load of crap you have just written there! I've had the pleasure of meeting Pete Sampras and he is so down to earth and humble! He in no way has delusions of grandeur!

[@angrydonny]

Pete's the best

[@myriad5608]

beast

[@adamblister6005]

Pete should have come back in 2003. He really should have tried for another wimbledon.

[@twain27]

mayyyybe but he left on the top and that's... really something

[@stealthcat100]

He was physically and emotionally fried . For him to win that last US open was really something because he was running on fumes at that stage of his career. The goat

[@lyndonchastain3181]

StealthVette He should have played 2003 and then retired. Could have maybe won 1-2 more before Fed took over

[@copperguide1675]

@MUFC ah yes, kicking a ball across a grass field and pretending to be hurt, truly an international pastime

[@luticia]

I was so in love with this guy when I was a teenaged girl. But now talking from his beauty....well a little bit shrunken. But still the best player ever!!!!

[@abhijitsen7749]

Didn't know Pete had a sick sense of humor.

[@innosanto]

Serve and volley since a kid!

[@Thutmosis7]

@pps1fan I agree. I think sampras is a playa who figure out how to beat somebody. I think had it been sampras of 93-97 it's unlikely he would of lost to federer. Even the current federer best in 2004-07. I pick sampras over him on fast grass all the time.

[@slamandjam2]

Thutmosis7 if it's the old fast grass I would say they would split the wins pretty evenly. Maybe slight edge to Pete. But Roger has him on any other court and modern grass courts

[@rohan4872]

its a great book

[@pps1fan]

@DanimalLawlz yes but lost in the next round so that win didn't mean anything plus it was a tight 5 set match which could've gone either way! Had they met more than once then I think Pete would've had more success than losses!

[@alberts2208]

Not sure if Sampras would be as dominant on today's grass because it's a lot slower. But he was surely the toughest to break serve against at Wimbledon in his time.

[@39thstreetmedia]

@godfaathr You obviously haven't read the book.. Andre speaks highly of Pete several times. However, he tries to communicate his real feelings toward every event and person as they actually were. It's called Open, so for him to just be polite and suck up to everyone involved in his tennis career would be hypocritical. Everyone I know that has read the book has come away with more appreciation and respect for Andre.

[@laddarecess]

Agassi won the French and most people (including me) think Sampras is a better player than Agassi.

[@oriondragos5876]

I give Agassi the ground/baseline game but Pete is more the total package because he was great at the net and had a great serve. Pete's running crosscourt forehand is one of the best.

[@copeland1983]

Look where Nadal is right now...

[@pps1fan]

Sorry but you are way off the mark here! He doesn't represent anything pointless or meaningless knowledge! He is a role model in the sense that he achieved all his success through hard work and determination and did it with humility, dignity and class! He was never motivated by the money side of things...he was motivated by the history of the game! He turned down so many lucrative sponsorship deals during his career which so he could've made even more money but he chose to focus on tennis!

[@rob2804]

@theguvnorjimmy oh definitely!

[@varunshahvo-tv9854]

He should've been more open to media . .media ruined his legacy

[@sainellore6874]

...and Pete is a terrible interviewee. He's not very good with his words on camera.

Both in their prime, Sampras destroys this punk Federer.

[@tattwa1]

Sampras couldn't even win a nobody Federer lol

[@darkdoctor417]

Roger Doperer the PED user only won on slow grass lol. 2001 the grass was changed at Wimbledon to perennial rye lol. Sampras never lost to Frauderer on true grass lol

[@MrBjorn6]

@@darkdoctor417 it was changed in 2002.

Do you actually know anything?

This age is getting even darker now that we have a black president. Cheers!!!

[@dovestones]

Well there is a convulted answer that explains everything whilst proving nothing.

[@pps1fan]

You are a very disturbed individual...I and I am sure Pete Sampras and many others who are involved or follow tennis do not need the kind of enlightening you speak of & Tennis is not in the Dark ages nor it's current players for that matter! I'd appreciate it if didn't respond to me anymore...let's just agree to disagree because we will never agree on this matter!

[@danmeadowsmusic]

He beat Sampras in 2001 on fast grass.

[@darkdoctor417]

lol 2001 is the year the grass was changed to perennial rye slow grass lol
