Tennis, Pete Sampras

Pete Sampras Beats Roger Federer in Third Exhibition Match

11/24/07 in Tennis   |   CriticalFanatic   |   respect


At 36 and retired, Pete Sampras is still the best American tennis player today. Andy Roddick and James Blake would love to have done what Pete did today -- beat Roger Federer in straight sets.

Of course, it was just an exhibition and only the best of three sets but still you have to think Sampras could win a few tournaments if he gave it another shot.
"Let's not get carried away, I had my time in the 90s."
Come on, Pete. How about at least give Wimbledon a shot next year?

We knew that this was possible. Federer is a master base liner, with the technology of today, he improved on the greatest base liner of all Andra Agassi. But, Pete's variety all around the court and the mind of a Champion, as we stated before the beatings will just get worst!

I'd like to see him do it, as well--it would be interesting to see how Pete would do!!

Ya, that would be awesome.  I mean I'm going to get excited for Wimbledon anyway lol, but, Pete would make it better.
