Who is the highest rated player on these boards?

Ha, I agree with him. Not sure this is what he ment, but the way he acts, I would not want to play with him either. Him and Mark Knowles or similar would be interesting.

I wonder if he posts from a blackberry, always real short responses.


yeah, I went in and saw the thread you referenced earlier, and then saw the rest of his posts. I'm pretty certain it is him.

Sir. Drak - that should be your official quest: Determine the validity of "Pete_Sampras"'s account!

For the record: I personally do not believe it is him ;)

It is him. Any doubts were erased when he nailed a response to my post about an interview he did. Oh and no "_" in his name :rolleyes:

9 posts since 2004 from Sampras.

I think its him, posting whenever he's extremely bored at an airport or something from his blackberry

Among the guys, I think TonLars is the highest rated player. He looks like a _really_ good player from his videos. He is also one of the best posters around.

Hark, what evidence have thee?!!!

I looked at his *9* forum posts and they didn't really confirm (or deny) his identity.

There certainly is something unique about an account that has approximately 1 or 2 posts a year over the course of 5 (soon to be six years).

Does that mean its him? no

But there is also the fact that the "Pete Sampras" Account knew what rackets pete used to use. I don't know if a troll would do that or know that. And yes i'd like to believe its him, so i'm trying to justify its him. :)

You would not know unless you saw the interview. As I stated earlier in this tread, he said it all with three words. He new exactly what I was talking about. Like if he said it was really him you would believe the post lol..

All his 9 posts are Sampras related, and offer seemingly accurate insights, though most of them a hardcore Sampras fan would know.

Also 5 years is a long time for someone to pretend to be Sampras. If its some Troll or obsessed fan they have an awful lot of self restraint and are incredibly dedicated considering nobody seems to have noticed or said that it might really be Pete Sampras up until now.

I want it to really be him too though... just my 2 cents

Like I said, the posts are insignificant to confirm or deny the validity of the account, but heck - maybe Pete can get his good friend Roger to post once or twice on this forum.

Has Pete ever said if he used a light, medium or heavy wood prostaff frame?
Doubt many on here would know the answer to that question.

Id say its quite a stretch to believe its actually Pete Sampras posting little 5 word responses about himself, rather than some kid trying to make people think it is him.

Well he had this to say about some racket

I thinking of buying one on ****. They go for about $200. I own the China and Taiwan versions. The Taiwan version is definitely heavier and plays more solid. I also own a St.Vincent Jack Kramer Staff (same exact mold as PS85), but it's composed of 20% fiberglass and not 20% kevlar like the PS midsize. It too, weights more than the modern PS 85, but has a different feel.

I'm wondering, for all those St. V owners out there. Is it worth the investment? Does it plays a notch higher than any other versions?

Thanks for any feed back!



I used one for a long time. I tried switching to other 85's and even the Tour 90, but it just wasn't the same.

Lol, let he who be without sin cast the first stone.

Just messing man. TW is a great place, I have met probably over 50 boardmembers, and hit with 40+ or so. All great, very cool people, some of whom have become good friends of mine.

It just caught me by surprise because I hadn't seen you post very much, but I don't often go into the general pro player discussion.

Have a good one man.

I don't want to call anyone out on this but the answer is ... ME.

Roger will be beat me when his game is on. He isn't playing like he used to though. For sure, I have a freaking 105mph forehand and a 140mph "make you dance" serve. Yeah, oh yeah, you don't believe me ... you want proof. Ok, bud, here is the link to my website www.RUkiddingmeandIllkickyourazz.com. What, the link doesn't work? Come on, try again. Allright, yeah, I play with the dreaded Volkl. And no, smart guy, my first name isn't Radek. But, I'm almost as good looking as Radek! (And sure, I do leer at Nicole)

Howz that for my evidence? Just look me up on the ATP list. Yeah, that's it -- Proof Positive, the baddest playa on TT, thats TTen, or TT to you. And I have a 10.0 usta ranking. What, you never heard of a 10.0 ... well you never played anyone like me. Huh,you don't believe me? You weenie. Check this out .... I can beat Rafa when I'm firing on all cylinders. What, you don't think I'm firing on all cylinders? Let's take it outside ...

You are such a liar and a fraud. Your lies about your tennis background have been exposed many times already on this forum. Last time your record was questioned you kept making up new lies to cover up your exposed old fraud. ATP ranked 900? You were not. Tobias Steinel-Hansson? You are not. Fredrik Persson? Doubtful. Ranked in ATP singles? Fredrik Persson was not. Why don’t you stop lying, it’s so pathetic. If you want to be an internet poser, at least pick an identity you can stick with for 5 minutes at least. FAIL.

We sorted that out long ago me and the other poster, and there was a reason for everything that took place in that thread.
And you are NOT the person too write that, getting banned once a week changing identitys all the time.

lol what thread was it he said that in

Open Letter to Jo11y thread:

I simply have different priorities than most people who play. Good example, most people would never give their opponent points. If I hit a winner but the ball didn't land close to where I was trying to hit, I don't take the point. I don't want to gain a point by chance. Why should I take a point I don't deserve to have?


BTW, he has some serious competition. TennisandMusic once said he could tell where the ball will land within an inch as soon as he hits it.

Mtommer, no contest.

This guy is badass.

I'm easily a high end 1.5. Everybody wants to be number one but it's not possible for any human to be 1.0 so it's not even an official ranking. I'm as close as you can get though. I don't think there are even 2.0 players on this board. Everybody is a 2.5 or lower. I'd hate to be those 6.0 and 7.0 players but you gotta start somewhere I guess. It's good to be king.
