Which makes it funny that some fans consider Agassi better than Sampras just because of the Career Slam.

Yes, some people think like that.

That's why he never beat Andre in either the Australian or the French Open?
At the US Open only once beat Andre easily in 1990 and Andre could've well beaten him in 1995,2001 or 2002 cause he had his chances. In fact, if they actually played a 5th set in any of the slams after 1996, Sampras would get breadsticked as he was in 2000 AO.

Also, didn't Agassi push Sampras to the brink at Wimbledon in 1993 playing with an injured wrist which affected his serve?

That is totally nuts!
Amazing stats.

Actually, starting from the 1985 US Open it was in fact 11 out of 12.

Then it would be 10 out of 12. McEnroe won their meetings in Stratton Mountain in 87 and Dallas WCT in 89.

that match was never completed.

So the answer to my question is "Almost : Lendl/Mac 6-1". Rafa could still beat the Djoker in London in his current form

Ah, ok. Then it would be 10 out of 11 starting with the 85 USO.

I've just realized there were a couple of mistakes. The numbers are:

1980 McEnroe 2-0
1981-82 Lendl 7-0
1983-84 McEnroe 10-2
1985-1992 Lendl 12-3

What is the GS record between Agassi and Sampras?

When I saw the 1990 USO final, I had seen quite of Agassi but never even heard of Sampras.But that final proved I was seeing one of the greatest players ever...he fooled around with Agassi, who was considered the terror of courts...

And that proves it was just a menthal thing... whoever got into his foe´s head would win...just as simple as that.Even in exos (I saw many of them between both and, believe me, it was just a menthal tihing)

This is just a troll thread,designed to simply stir the sh*t,and trash on Nadal. Nothing more nothing less.

Diagoras · 11-07-2011, 03:18 PM

Has any number 1 player ever been so obviously doping before?

That's still crazy. Insane swings there. Djokodal have had that kind of rivalry too though. Rafa got Novak 5 times in a row if I remember right.

Rafa has beaten Roger five times in a row - twice
Rafa has beaten Andy five times in a row
Rafa has beaten Novak five times in a row

Considering they are his biggest rivals, that is not bad at all.
