So first off, I say this being probably one of the biggest Sampras fans ever. I still am to this day and think he was great.
Nonetheless, I think that if both were at their peaks and playing today, Agassi would have the advantage in terms of success. I'm not even saying that i think Agasssi would have had a winning record against Sampras (though I guess it's implied) but that he would be more successful overall.
I think this because Agassi's game seems better adjusted to the hard hitting, groundstroke experts of the day. Sure Sampras had the serve (and volley), but I think the game is neutralized enough that baseliners have an advantage.
Tell me if you disagree.
