More quotes by Pete Sampras
My serve was there, everything was just clicking. Those are the days you dream about, especially in a final.
Pete Sampras
I think the image of golfers is terrific, and rightly so.
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
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
I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.
Pete Sampras
Winning is about taking your opponent's heart out and squeezing it until all the blood has come out, even the very last drop. There are no prizes for a funny loser.
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

Tennis is seen all around the world if I am home or anywhere in the country, United States, people will stare.
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've got a great wife, a great life.
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
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
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
For so long people have just taken what I do for granted. It is not easy to do year-in, year-out, to win Grand Slams and be No. 1.
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
Players aren't quite as intimidated by my name.
Pete Sampras
I've always led a pretty simple life, with few extravagances. The money in tennis never drove me.
Pete Sampras
It is nice to walk out on a court to have it packed.
