- 2001: "Lol did you just compare Federer to Sampras"
- Lol, did you really just compare Federer and Dimitrov?
- The only reason I can think of is the reduction in speed of the ball because of the slight change of the surface of courts. What do you mean ?
- All the discussions about who is best ever are moot. Sampras was best against his competition at HIS TIME. You can only beat the ones you can play against; and he did. So did Federer. And Nadal. An Djokovic. Although the two latter ones aren't anywhere near the first two. You have to keep that in mind. They've both been the greatest of their respective generation. End of story. (This comes from a burning Nadal fan, by the way.)
- The begining of a legend RF
- Didn't think much of the Sampras loss at the time because there were so many shit players coming up the ranks back then since the top players of the 90's were getting old and fading. I knew Federer had a great junior career at that time, but no idea he was going to be this good
- I really wonder if you understand the reasons behind the change before you made you comment
- I find most frustrating the fact that each point consists of 4-5 hits at most. I believe that this is a safe example that leads to the conclusion of how harder the sport has become in the last decade. I also think that this shows that Federer has been a much better player ( than Sampras was in his years ). That is my opinion and i respect every other perspective.
- Man your crazy, asking what this man has ever achieved with a sarcastic tone is like asking if Rockerfeller ever made money.
- 3:49:14 this is where the legend begun and is holding up reputation today :)
- i am hearing this from lot of people especially in their 20s saying Sampras was S&Ver, he is indeed an all court player. he adapted to serve and volley technique later. as sasook mentioned, suggesting today's players as all court players is totally misleading. no body know how to volley properly today.
- only 17 grand slams
- Lol what a fluke this match was, this Federer mug never went on to achieve anything after this.
- This was the changing of the guard. It begs the question, will the it happen again between Federer and Dimitrov.
- Go pistol
- I don't know. I was fun when players had different styles of play. Now everyone is converging to the same tactical play. I'm not saying what is better or more enjoyable to watch. I just liked it when you could put players in several different categories, and when grass was really fast.
- 3:22:53 PI 3.14
- itś a darned pity that this recording is often so jerky -- spoils it.
- This was the first time when Roger cried on court! An Epic Match!!
