This happens when you write drunk: I meant 2004¡¡¡

I have watched the entire match now...and altough I know that sports evolve as time goes by, I feel deeply shocked.

I started to watch pro tennis about 1994, and expected to witness an incredible exciting, or at least very good, match between this two all-time greats.

Now I have to believe that I got very lucky.

This match was almost( 85 % or so) about: Serve and response, or not, and if so, immediate definition.

Rarely I witnessed a rally of more than FIVE hits

I m lucky: today s tennis yes

It is such a rare event that two all-time greats of any sport actually meet being both in their primes, that constitutes this document a real jewel (think Marciano-Louis or Ali- Holmes age mismatches, for example)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO

Hmmmm,in 90's tennis surfaces didn't change a lot. Federer started with a fast grasscourts and if it stayed like that,he wold dominate on grass totaly. But he adopted very well on this slowing down of grass and hardcourts. Supouse that happened in 90's, I'm not sure if Sampras would have that kind of success. Then,that would aloud players like Agassi or Chang to have even more success than they had. That's why Nadal,Djoko and others are so god. Fed just has more variabillity then Sampras.

It is clear here that Sampras has a much bigger serve than Federer...

@DazOvTheStow LOL. Yeah, young guys like to serve aces against Sampras in their first service games against him! Safin did it in the US Open. I am sure Hewitt did the same when they played, haha!

Lol typical Federer 19 years old 1st time on centre court and 1st time playing against Pete Sampras in his own backyard 1st point....... Ace
