More quotes by 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
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.

I think the image of golfers is terrific, and rightly so.
Pete Sampras
A champion is suppose to hate to lose, and it wasn't like I was ever crazy about the idea. But I learned to deal with losing without having my spirit or confidence broken, which would help immensely over time, not just in the big picture but even in specific matches when I found myself in a jam. Fear of losing is a terrible thing.

Pete Sampras
Success is walking out of here with the title, and anything less is not good enough in my book.
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
I don't think it really matters, who plays first. Whatever they do, they do.
Pete Sampras

Pete Sampras
I'm staying in shape, working out.
Pete Sampras
If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me.
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.
