More quotes by Pete Sampras
It's one-on-one out there, man. There ain't no hiding. I can't pass the ball.
Pete Sampras
My serve was there, everything was just clicking. Those are the days you dream about, especially in a final.
Pete Sampras
Baseball is America's pastime, and that record is absolutely huge in the States.
Pete Sampras
People watched the Masters. It was a huge event. It was at The Garden. Now that it is over here in Europe, it has lost a little bit of popularity in the States.
Pete Sampras
As long as I feel like I can win majors and contend, I'll continue to play.
Pete Sampras
Choking is being in a position to win, and then experiencing some critical failure of nerve or spirit. That never happened to me. And I can't help but think it was because I was never afraid to lose.
Pete Sampras
I can't just wake up and watch TV and do nothing. I need a day off working out, seeing the wife, play a little golf, see my kids.
Pete Sampras
I admire the way golfers handle themselves. But tennis players are a lot younger, as a rule. There aren't many teenagers on the golf tour.
Pete Sampras
When I committed to playing a little tennis in some exhibitions, it was the best thing for me. It got me in shape. It got me out of the house. It got me doing something I love to do.
Pete Sampras
There's always one shot that I can rely on when I'm not hitting the ball that well, is my serve.
Pete Sampras
I'm not worried about the weekend, I'm worried about Saturday.
Pete Sampras
Winning is about taking your opponent's heart out and squeezing it until all the blood has come out, even the very last drop. There are no prizes for a funny loser.
Pete Sampras
There should be more of an off-season in the game. I think you need to have less tournaments, more of a break at the end of the year so guys can recover.
Pete Sampras
I'm staying in shape, working out.
Pete Sampras
The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.
Pete Sampras
I don't think it really matters, who plays first. Whatever they do, they do.
Pete Sampras
By putting pressure on myself to develop a great game, I had less pressure to win. These days, I tell kids that the way I grew up, it wasn't about winning. It was about playing well, about playing the right way. That approach helped me enjoy the game and develop mine to its maximum potential.
Pete Sampras
Retirement is a work in progress. I try to figure out my day, and what I know about myself is that I need structure.
Pete Sampras
I feel much more respected in Europe than I do in the States from the press and from the people. Americans expect me to win every match I play.
Pete Sampras
I did it my way, and I have no regrets when I look back on my career that it was just a big focus for me.
