More quotes by Pete Sampras
You kind of live and die by the serve.
Pete Sampras
As long as I feel like I can win majors and contend, I'll continue to play.
Pete Sampras
When you struggle winning matches all year and you don't really get into a groove or rhythm, you just can't expect to just come in here and have it click.
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
It's one-on-one out there, man. There ain't no hiding. I can't pass the ball.

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

Pete Sampras
I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.
Pete Sampras
My goal one day is to be in the same sentence as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall. If I can match them for 10 years, I'd be in their company. They were class acts. That's what I'd like to be.
Pete Sampras
It is nice to walk out on a court to have it packed.
Pete Sampras
I think the image of golfers is terrific, and rightly so.
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
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
Media access to us is more regulated than in golf.
Pete Sampras
What I've done in the game is always going to stick, no matter what happens.
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
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
