Agassi came into net more than Sampras in this match. And the ATP stats are wrong again on total points won and service percentages, as well as Pete's aces.

Agassi converted 6 of 10 break points, Sampras 1 of 1.
Agassi got his first serve into play on the only break point he faced but was broken anyway. Sampras got his first serve into play on 5 of 10 break points; he was broken twice on first serve and 4 times on second.
Agassi served 3 aces, 1 double.
Sampras had 8 aces, 7 doubles.
Agassi drew 14 return errors (3 on second serve). Sampras drew 24 (with 12 on second serve).
I didn't see anything that I would have judged a service winner.
Agassi had 23 clean winners apart from serves: 15 FH, 4 BH, 1 FHV, 2 BHV, 1 overhead.
Sampras had 16 clean winners apart from serves: 7 FH, 8 BH, 1 FHV.
Agassi had 6 return winners, all FH’s (and four off first serves). One of these returns was a passing shot. And Agassi hit 4 other passes in the match (including 3 backhands).
Sampras hit 2 return winners, both backhands. One was a passing shot, and he made 3 other passing shots in the match (including two BH’s).
Finally, subtracting the clean winners and aces from the total points:
Agassi made 53 errors. Of those I counted 24 return errors and 1 double-fault. That leaves him making 28 errors in exchanges with at least a successful return, ie, in rallies.
Sampras made 76 errors. Of those I counted 14 return errors and 7 double-faults. That leaves him making 55 errors in rallies.
