Best Sampras performance please?

[Smasher08]

The Samp-Ag match where every set went to a tiebreak was imo probably their most epic match.

[Bhagi Katbamna]

1999 v. Agassi at the final of Wimbledon. What a time to put on that kind of tennis, the finals of the biggest tournament in the world. He made the best returner in the world look ordinary. Not to mention beating Andre from the baseline regularly in that match.

BY FAR the most aggressive and dominating tennis I've ever seen. He made the #1 or #2 Agassi look like he didn't even belong playing the pro men's tour that day.

Youre talking as if Sampras won 6-0 6-1 6-2.

Sampras won 6-3 6-4 7-5 which is far from what Federer did to Hewitt in the finals of the US Open when he threw in 2 bagels in Hewitt's face. Sampras would never double bagel anyone no matter how on he was, especially the likes of peak Hewitt.

You wanna see some beatdowns?

Federer Djokovic 6-0 7-6
Federer Nadal 6-3 6-0
Federer Murray 6-2 7-5 6-2
Federer Agassi 6-3 6-0 6-4
I don't wanna even mention the likes of Blake, Roddick or Nalbandian cause you probably don't think they are good enough to be in the conversation here but Sampras wouldn't even dream of bageling Roddick. Multiple times for the matter.

Now those are beatdowns, Sampras wouldn't even dominate an amateur because he was unable to break more than once per set.

I think you forgot that Hewitt is a weak era clown.

Sampras didn't need to consistently break per set. He just needed the one break to win the set since it was so difficult to break him.

I was going by the level that Pete attained in the 1999 wimbledon final, which was the highest level Ive ever seen from a player. Moreso, then any matches I've seen from Fed level wise


1999 Wimbledon final Sampras blows Any Fed you got off the court.

Cool story but that doesn't make him look dominant. Federer threw in bagels all round against the best players in the world. Sampras wouldn't even dream of doing that. I mean 6-0 7-6 6-0 against peak Hewitt in a US final when the surface was still fast. Could you imagine Sampras doing that? LOL

Sampras doesn't hold a candle to Federer when Federer is at his best. Not even close lol. The more hilarious if you think that peak Federer would stay back on a fast grass court, LOOOL. Federer served and volleyed his way to a win against Sampras at Wimbledon in 2001 when he was a baby, who are you to say he would be demolished if it was his 2006 version?

Sampras demolishing Federer at his best, lol. WHAT A JOKE. I think it's too much weed for 1 day, bro.

Teenage Hewitt was throwing in bagels against a still very good Sampras. I think Hewitt is considered an exception, though. Some of the beatdowns he layed on Sampras in 2000-2002 were just too much for the most zealous Sampras fans to handle.

Sampras beat Hewitt at the USO in 2000 and Hewitt took advantage of a gassed Sampras in 2001 (Who had just gone through a draw of hell with THREE former USO champions)

[90's Clay]

Another dominating gem from Sampras was the USO in 2002 vs. Roddick.

I remember Becker (who was commentating that match) was asked what he would do if he was Roddick to stop this onslaught.. Becker replied "Get the hell out of the stadium"

This is a thread that simply called for fans of TENNIS to cite what they considered Sampras' most dominant performance-PERIOD. It was not an reach out to you, underground or any of the other fedfangirls. You want to troll? Ok. But you do know that you get called on it. Capiche, asswipe?

hey Sard, the poster claimed that performance from Sampras was the most dominant performance in tennis, PERIOD. I disagreed (and as you might've seen, a few others did too). You have a problem with that? what are you, an opinion police?

you're starting to look like a butthurt fool with your needless rants (how you've not been banned is still a mystery with the frequent use of female genitalia as a form of insult)

BWHAHAHA. Federer couldn't beat 1999 Wimbledon final Sampras if you gave him 10 tries.. Pete was just too aggressive to the point where the opponent could not get any kind of rhythm going.

When Pete played like that, there was really nothing you could do about it. I dont care who you are

Fact check: Fed is just as difficult to break, and has lost fewer sets, games etc, than Sampras.

Post-prime Fed trounces any version of Sampras on any court.

[Nostradamus]

Where are the HD videos so we can judge Sampras for ourselves ?

you might not, but Pete sure would, especially if he's getting beaten to pulp.

Let's not discuss Agassi's 44% 1st serves in the match, OK?

Yeah ok, we'll take your word for it. It's not like you're a biased Sard or anything...

Sampras never beat Hewitt again after the 2000 US open, 5 times out of 5 to be exact with a couple of bagels and breadsticks. Peak Hewitt owned Sampras.

More:
Federer Gaudio 6-0, 6-0
Federer Delpo 6-3 6-0 6-0

I think Pete's 1999 YEC F performances against Agassi is better (by a solid margin) than his 1999 Wimbledon F performance actually, just my impression of his level of play in both matches (I didn't compare stats or something so I don't know how accurate my opinion is).

The same way Sampras took advantage of teenage Hewitt in 2000 USO ?

Sure thing. Make a poll and let's see if everyone agrees. No, wait, you're the only one here who thinks that Sampras was unbeatable where in fact he lost multiple sets in each Wimbledon from 93-00 while Federer barely lost a set or 2 per tournament.

The very same (1999 Wimbledon) Sampras was getting hammered by Philippoussiss before Mark had to retire, the same Sampras lost a set to Henman in the SF yet Federer at his best had no chance. I MEAN COME ON, how much dumber can one be?

Why make a poll here at **** Warehouse exactly?

Federer wins all polls heres.. Best USO player by 1000 votes over Connors and Pete (despite Sampras with more success there along with Connors), best well built guy, prettiest, strongest, fastest, best volleyer, best BH, best 1st and 2nd serve etc..

This place is infested with **** bias. Its only reasonable to make a poll on a truly objective tennis board. This place certainly isn't the place
