More quotes by Pete Sampras
I've always led a pretty simple life, with few extravagances. The money in tennis never drove 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
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
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
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
It's not my place to tell you whom to vote for, to take any political stand, to tell you what religion to believe in. I'm an athlete. I can influence certain things, but when I see other athletes and celebrities telling you whom to vote for, I actually get a bit offended.
Pete Sampras
My goal one day is to be in the same sentence as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall.
Pete Sampras
My serve was there, everything was just clicking. Those are the days you dream about, especially in a final.
Pete Sampras
Success is walking out of here with the title, and anything less is not good enough in my book.
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 let my racket do the talking. That's what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches.
Pete Sampras
I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.
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.
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
What I've done in the game is always going to stick, no matter what happens.
Pete Sampras
I don't think it really matters, who plays first. Whatever they do, they do.
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
Players aren't quite as intimidated by my name.
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've got a great wife, a great life.
Pete Sampras
