Tennis greats on the Pete Sampras they know
People are always looking for something there. He's just like your friend from
down the road. He doesn't understand why, for instance, people are interested
in what he had for dinner alst night. He's just substance. With Pete, what
you see is what you get. -- Paul Annacone, Sybase Open 1997
Sampras doesn't owe us charisma or ego or flambouyance or anything we seem to
equate with sporting success these days. All he owes us is good tennis. You
want to see who Pete Sampras is? Watch him play.
-- Paul Daugherty, Boston Globe columnist
I don't know what it is about Americans that they always have to be entertained
Pete is as good a player as you can possibly get, but it doesn't seem to be
enough for them. I guess people get bored quickly, But Pete is an enormously
talented athlete, and he's surrounded himself with good people from the
beginning. God knows how many Grand Slam titles he can win. -- Harold Solomon
(a former tennis pro now playing seniors and coaching some pros), August 1997
It's a mystery to me why he doesn't captivate. He captivates me. He's a
marvelous shotmaker. Tennis has had some yellers and screamers who have been
tremendously popular. People seem to expect a freak show from tennis. But you
don't know what you're missing if you haven't seen Pete Sampras play tennis.
-- Bud Collins, author of "Tennis Encyclopedia", commentator for NBC and
writer for the Boston Globe.
If you took a video of Pete's game, you could give it to any kid and say, "This
is how you play." -- Tom Gullikson
He can do basically whatever he wants to do with the ball when he's out there.
-- Alex Corretja, August 1997
I hope he's going to be bored seeing me on the other side of the net. A lack of
enthusiasm on the other side might help me. -- Mark Woodforde, San Francisco
examiner (San Jose, at that time, Sampras holds a 9-0 record over Woodforde)
Sometimes I think he forgets the difference between his first serve and his
second serve. -- Boris Becker, Wimbledon SF 93
Be lucky, guess the corner, close your eyes and hope there's a God. You have to
be a little religious to break his serve. -- Magnus Larsson on how to break
Pete Sampras' serve, Cincinnati 98
For me, he was always the most complete player. He has the power, he has the
speed, he has the touch. He is the best player ever. -- Boris Becker, Sports
Illustrated, July 14, 1997
What I like about him is he's ready to play day after day after day.
-- Jimmy Connors
"Sampras, Sampras, Sampras, Sampras and Sampras"-- Andre Agassi's reply when
asked who are the best five players of all time, October 30, 1998, Stuttgart
