Who in your opinion had the better career? Sampras holds the record for most slam titles and was #1 for a record six straight years. Agassi is one of the elite few to have a career grand slam and holds the record for most masters events won.
This two players could not be more different, one with the serve and volley, and the other taking the ball and punishing from the baseline, one with a classy style, and Agassi to this day still can't rub away his badboy style.
As Sampras aged, he did not get the same results, but his results came quickly from the start of his career where he was mostly still a baseliner. Agassi was only a haircut and a forehand, in the words of Lendl, in the beginning of his career, but is far more durable than Sampras, still in the top ten at 35 years of age. Agassi also did not get results as quickly.
Sampras' failure to win at RG is a blight on his career, but people seem to forget he reached the semis there, and the tremendous work he did for the US Davis Cup team on clay. Agassi is overlooked by the number of slams he holds.
Too tough for me to decide right now, but all I know is that there matches of highly contrasting styles were always highly anticipated and attracted many...
Sampras is on top on their head-to-head record, 20-14
