Advantages: World class player

Disadvantages: Isn't getting any younger

Pete Sampras has proven that he is up there with the all time tennis greats. He has won the most ever amount of Grandslams. His power and consistancy seems to over whelm is opponents. Pete Sampras has always been a serve and volley player. This has worked for him so well on so many occasions but the question is: Is he the best ever male tennis player?
I don't really think that anybody could really answer that. The technology of rackets, and the quality of courts has changed so much over the years that you can't really compare Sampras to somebody like Bjorn Borg or John Macenroe.
He has to be counted as one of the all time greats, as he has performed on so many occasions, and has even won wimbledon playing with an ankle injury. People are saying now that he is losing his touch and that he is gettin a bit old for it. But i think that he still has something special left in him.

Technology hasn't actually (according to something somebody told me) changed the game as much as people believe - Rusedski was apparently given an old seventies raquet to see if this was the case and still managed a serve something like 120mph with it! - so i've been told. I do think however wtih the introduction of TV coverage over the last forty years - coaches have been able to develop the form of the serve and the game tactics with greater ease.. anyway, I do believe sampras is probably the best player ever but the great thing about this whole concept is you will never ever know.
