Muster vs. Sampras Essen (2/2)

Thomas Muster takes the first set with a great running forehand, the fist pump celebration is quality.

The second set was high quality play from Muster and just mauled Sampras in this match. His best performance indoors not on a claycourt. The match point summed up the day he was having.

Rafael Nadal is a healthier version of Muster, who was hit by a drunk driver in 1989--his ACL and MCL in his dominant left knee were damaged, and required surgery. Muster still won a French Open despite his left leg becoming shorter than the other. I do not think that Nadal could be as effective as Muster if he was put through similar trauma.

Muster was a warrior out there.

@blueguitarblue he was just unhappy because he lost. kind of normal

My tennis knowledge and affinity is for the McEnroe, Connors, Bjorg B, Becker etc. day. Is it just me, or did Sampras look unhappy about having to shake this little pistol's hand?

@awesomerepublican That was his ATP No. 1 match. He was the best player in 1995 although he didn't make the top of the rankings until 1996

@tom10552 Yes, not too many people know this and people always want to compare eras, but can only do what is possible within their particular timeframe.
