More quotes by 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
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
Baseball is America's pastime, and that record is absolutely huge in the States.
Pete Sampras
Golfers are forever working on mechanics. My tennis swing hasn't changed in 10 years.
Pete Sampras
I think the image of golfers is terrific, and rightly so.
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 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
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
Players aren't quite as intimidated by my name.
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
I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.
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
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
Tennis is seen all around the world if I am home or anywhere in the country, United States, people will stare.
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
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
My goal one day is to be in the same sentence as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall.
Pete Sampras
Anything can happen out there on any court.
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 don't think it really matters, who plays first. Whatever they do, they do.
Pete Sampras
