More quotes by Pete Sampras
I think the image of golfers is terrific, and rightly so.
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
The future is flying home. That's the immediate future. But long-distance future, I plan on being back. I'm not going to end my time here with that loss.
Pete Sampras
What I've done in the game is always going to stick, no matter what happens.
Pete Sampras
I made it look so easy on court all those years. No one realized how hard I had to work. No one realized how much I had to put into it. They underestimated my intensity.
Pete Sampras
I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.
Pete Sampras
Success is walking out of here with the title, and anything less is not good enough in my book.
Pete Sampras
Anything can happen out there on any court.
Pete Sampras
People wrote me off, but I believed in myself. I got the confidence back, and it grew and grew. I won my first major and my last at the place that changed my life.
Pete Sampras
Baseball is America's pastime, and that record is absolutely huge in the States.
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
People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not going to belong on Comedy Central. I'll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity.
