    How to set your racquet up like an ATP pro

    Sampras setup I would like to set my pure storm tour gt similar to Sampras as far as lead tape amount and locations at 3 and 9 which I could see from photos but have no idea where to put it on the handle to counter balance. Any advice? The polarized setup is used by players like Federer...

    Pete Sampras Lead Tape

    How does Sampras balance his pure storm tour gt? I saw pics of the location of lead tape at 3 and 9 o'clock but can't tell how many layers. Does he add lead to the handle? If so how does he do it, how much lead does he use, and where does he put it on the handle?

    Pete Sampras in his prime vs. Roger Federer in his prime. On grass. Who would win? Sampras, says Sampras. The 14-time Grand Slam champion, who was courtside when Federer won his 15th Slam at Wimbledon this month, thinks he would have given Federer trouble. ``I think one thing Roger doesn't...

    How I settled the GOAT debate with my friend!! MUST READ

    Sampras didnt have to deal with Federer. He might have done things to improve his game to be the number 1 player in the world over Roger. Train harder, tweak his game, etc. Cant count a guy out when he cant do anything about it at this point since he is too old to play. The guy didnt win 14...

    How I settled the GOAT debate with my friend!! MUST READ

    Now, some people are bound to say that if both of them played in the same year, odds are that they would meet eachother. The only reference point we have for their matchup is the Wimby 01 match where a preadolescent Federer showed how clutch and fearless he is and sent Sampras packing in his...

    How I settled the GOAT debate with my friend!! MUST READ

    LOL that depends on if Nadal is on the injured list. If Nadal is in the lineup Federer would have 1 slam and that is the us open. And i would Pick Sampras for sure cause it would just be suicide to Pick Roger over Rafa.

    Curious about Sampras legacy

    That is correct. Laver was never given a chance to go against Pete so we will never know what would happen if both in the same era. There were other factors involved as i stated before so there is no GOAT. As a Sampras fan, i believe that when Pete is on his A game, he was unstoppable. Federer...

    Curious about Sampras legacy

    There is no GOAT. Nobody can prove that Federer could be number 1 if Sampras was in contention with him. Sampras is the best of his era and Federer is the best of this era. Records can only go so far because there are other factors involved. evolution, equipment, training, different brand of...

    Curious about Sampras legacy

    Sampras was declining. He wasnt what he once was during 01 and the comentators talked about that. They stated that his movement was on the decline and that he played bad all year long. Also remember Agassi is one year older than Pete. Oh yeah i think Federer won like 3 games total against an in...

    Now that the G.O.A.T argument is settled, who is the 2nd G.O.A.T behind Federer?

    Rafa may be quitting early but he has been injured. Thats the only reason Federer won the Frrench and wimbledon last year. Nadal doesnt fold or bow over to him like the rest of the headcases of this era. Nadal is a true competitor unlike Roddick, murray, djoker, and all the rest of the lineup...

    Now that the G.O.A.T argument is settled, who is the 2nd G.O.A.T behind Federer?

    Federer can attack yes but obviously not enough to beat Nadal He can do everything well but sampras was better at attacking and taking a player out of his comfort zone. Petes defense is underrated. He isnt too far behind Federer in that department. Yeah safin schooled Sampras in the 2000 us...

    Now that the G.O.A.T argument is settled, who is the 2nd G.O.A.T behind Federer?

    Sampras could take Federer or anyone out of their comfort zone. He would not allow Federer to hit those spectacular shots by overwhelming him with pace and mixing up his shots and figuring out what works and what doesn't work. Pete was great at figuring out his opponents and raising his game...

    Now that the G.O.A.T argument is settled, who is the 2nd G.O.A.T behind Federer?

    Federer doesnt have a game that can attack. Nadal pushes him around the court and is the only mentally tough player of this era that doesnt blink under pressure. Federer plays a little better on defense and has more margin for error so he is for sure more dominant than Pete regardless of the...

    Now that the G.O.A.T argument is settled, who is the 2nd G.O.A.T behind Federer?

    because Sampras could rise above his rivals unlike Federer who only has one rival and its a one sided affair with Nadal beating him. Nobody that ever played tennis could beat Pete at his best in the 90s up to 99

    The measure of the best man

    If everyone argued that the best player of all time depended on how many grand slams were achieved and who played best on ALL surfaces...the answer would obviously be in favour of Roger Federer. On the other hand, if everyone argued who is the better player between the two, it becomes a whole...

    Rafael Nadal-Roger Federer: Logical Flaw Interpreting Rafa's 13-7 H2H Margin

    Nadal can stop fed from being GOAT "It would bother me if I had a losing record against Andre in majors," Sampras said. "Does it mean I was the greatest or not the greatest? The greatest of all time is (a label) we want to pin it on someone. With the numbers you have to give it to Roger; with...

    Peter Bodo says Federer should focus on Davis Cup

    Fed Nadal Winning some davis cup matches wouldn't hurt Rogers resume. But he has to beat Rafa in the slams if he is going to be considered the GOAT "I have to give it to him," Sampras said after the record-breaking 77-game final. "The critics say Laver. And (Rafael) Nadal has beaten him a...

    Federer's Serve As Good As Sampras'

    Sampras best ever If you watched any of the recent exhibitions between all-time greats Roger Federer and Pete Sampras you were probably amazed at the effectiveness of Sampras’ serve. The fast courts were to Sampras’ advantage, but it was obvious that even at age 36 his delivery is still...

    Why must people try to devalue Federer's 15th due to Nadal's injury/losses?
