Too tough to call because they’re from different eras. Like if prime Sampras using his pro staff 85 time traveled to say 2017 or whenever it was prime djokovic, I think sampras would lose for sure. However, if they were both in the same era using the same equipment and training etc, it would be...
Yeah but Sampras wasn’t done yet at that point. He was super motivated to defend his Wimbledon title and was geared up for that. He was still actually really good considering he won another slam after that. 2024 just started and djokovic may still achieve a lot this year.

I had the opposite results when I used the head speed mp about 9 years ago (the one that first used graphene). I got bad tennis elbow for a while. Not 100% sure it was the racquet or strings but I got rid of them anyway. Probably the current speed racquets with the newer material is better for...
