Everyone will agree Sampras is inferior to the top 4 in terms of all court game. He won most/ all of his majors mainly with his huge serve and S&V game.
If Sampras were to play today, would he be ranked 5th ? Will he be able to beat Ferrer ?
His serve will win him several matches, but given the strong returners we see today, I place him around 8-10 rank.
What do you all think ? what would be his realistic major count ?
I cannot see Prime Sampras beating both Novak and/pr Federer at USO consistently .
No way he gets Australian open with Fed, Nadal and Novak.
Clay, lesser said the better.
His only chances are at Wimbledon, where you would expect Fed to be favoured still when it comes to a final between the two.
I would have to say close to 5 majors just between Wimbledon and USO.
