Just watched the Sampras Wimbledon legend DVD last night. Sampras mentioned up until the match in 2001 he knew almost nothing about Federer. I know a lot of people says that is the most fair match up because they both use the same racket and all. But I think Federer may have an edge on having a lot of study material on Sampras' game, while Pete got nothing on Fed.
Federer, also being young, but yet a very calm player, was able to focus on the game and ignore the fact that he is playing the most famous tennis figure on court. He also got nothing to lose.
It is always so much fun to compare to this match against the 08 Nadal match. Two classics, so very different!
