Sampras hasn't tecnique. It's just psycophisichal condition with tactic for fast fields. In his period the advantage came from the different speed of the fields. With the standard speed of the fields Sampras would lose against Agassi anyday.
Often times Sampras kept attacking his opponent's best weapon until it broke down. Here, Sampras kept doing it through 5 sets and nothing to show for it. Talk about being pigheaded.
Most of the all time greats were stubborn in their tactics. Sampras, Agassi, and the big 3 are some of the very few players who are good enough to beat someone by breaking down their strength. Most don't even think about it, let alone do it.
@@rohan4872 true true. That Paris match was such a high level match. I still think Pete's best year was 97 as he won every final he was in and had a real shot at the French that year if he didn't get sick. Also as you mentioned pete would beat a Korda that didn't cheat and pete would have run over the rest at the US open that year too.
@@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415 Sure. Pickard used to coach Edberg prior to Korda, who on occasions has been his double partner as well. Both great talents with immaculate one handed backhands.
@@miotubo839 did you know Edberg started with 2 handed backhand , Sampras Stich and Krajicek I interviewed Stich and Krajicek , i ll send you the articles on the internet
@@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415 Sure, go ahead, that'll be interesting for sure. I know about Edberg, his early coach Percy Rosberg suggested to switch to one hand which would've been a better fit for his attacking style (boy was he right!). Before that he did it the Björn Borg way, which was the standard for a Swede.
