Wimbledon Classic Match - Federer vs. Sampras

In this 5-set classic match from 2001, Pete Sampras, who ruled Wimbledon in the 1990s with 7 Mens Singles titles, takes on the man who would begin his own streak of titles at Wimbledon in 2003, Roger Federer.

Sampras played his best tennis in the final two sets, smashing serves at up to 136 mph and looking like the champion of old at the net.

FEDERER RULES

[stuartclarke2007]

So this is where the illustrous career of the greatest player ever to grace the game of tennis began... Sweet. Fed fan for life.

Sampras is the better player everywhere out of clay. No one can touch him in his prime.

I prefer to be by far the best grass-court player ever than to be the most universal player.

Tennis from Sampras was like Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I showed this to my mom after she watched the 2011 French Open final and she said Federer was practically a baby because he looked/was so young

FEDERER BEST OF THE BEST

[whutbrush]

This was when Sampras was the defending champ, while Federer wasn't even Federer yet. At his best (ie: 2004-2007), Federer would have smoked any version of Sampras.

If it wasn't for Nadal's advantages on clay (spinny lefty forehand to Roger's 1-handed backhand), Federer would have 22 Slams and people would have stopped asking questions a long time ago. No other great had a rival who presents such match up problems, which only adds to Fed's greatness imho.

@benjamintg00 I believe in the golden rule, whoever has the gold, rules. Right now, Fed's got Wimbly gold x 6!
