More quotes by 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 think the image of golfers is terrific, and rightly so.
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 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.
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
The only person that I have met, that I have ever been in awe of, is Eddie Vedder.
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
I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.
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
What I've done in the game is always going to stick, no matter what happens.
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
I've got a great wife, a great life.
Pete Sampras
Golfers are forever working on mechanics. My tennis swing hasn't changed in 10 years.
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
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
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
Anything can happen out there on any court.
Pete Sampras
I don't think it really matters, who plays first. Whatever they do, they do.
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
As long as I feel like I can win majors and contend, I'll continue to play.
Pete Sampras
