Players aren't quite as intimidated by my name.

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.

Golfers are forever working on mechanics. My tennis swing hasn't changed in 10 years.
Pete Sampras
If I win and play well, then the ranking will take care of itself. Defending points is really not a problem. Just go out and play and not worry about it.
Pete Sampras

Pete Sampras

Pete Sampras
Baseball is America's pastime, and that record is absolutely huge in the States.
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
Anything can happen out there on any court.
