Always loved Pete-Safin matches, they had some great ones.

Generally speaking, outside of the fact that they both serve and volleyed, McEnroe and Sampras had very different skills. One thing I have noticed, they both are fantastic at timing their shots, adding or taking off pace and moving forward to cut off angles. They both had a knack for knowing where they were on the court and finding a way to win points on their terms.
Safin crushes the ball. Good highlights.

Actually Johansson ended up winning this tournament, this is 2002 AO not USO.
