Pete Sampras about top 3 tennis players and others

Short version no more avaliavable.

Awwww...I wanted to hear more of him on Djokovic :(

Whole version on official video of the Artois Championships:

http://www.youtube.com/artoistennis

"Djokovic is the one guy in the world that can actually run with Roger and hit with Roger, you know, can do all that stuff"

I thought Nadal did that too in Paris and Wimbledon? Silly me.

nice video, thanks. Was this a part of some show on TV?

At sec 46 until sec 49, djoko actually impressions federer again! :eek:

Is he looking for trouble and even worse relationship with roger? :confused:

Djokovic is a comedian. That's what he does.

I find it refreshingly hilarious.

4-25 being in the same boat is a joke.

4-25 being in the same boat is a joke.
Yeah, Pete says that players ranked #4-#25 are in the same boat. Are they really?

I think Pete is over analyzing it and making the big three like they are untouchables.

Yes they are the big 3- the favorite to win any tournament they entered but please remember Davydenko is closing the gap in and is not in the same boat as the other 4-25 players.

I think needs to do his homework first before giving such a general statement of current players.

Pete doesn't watch tennis anymore. 1 or 2 sets during a whole GS tops. He admitted that himself in the past. And it shows !

OMG It does look like the ballerina move of Feds. LOL

Why? Would you argue with what he actually says? Sounds bang-on to me.

pete is right, maybe he should have subdivided the boat into two parts. (A and B)

top 3 are untouchable, no doubting that.

then comes boat A (4th ranked to 10th ranked player) which for me includes the likes of rod, nalb, davy, murray, ferrer, even blake, etc who in any event after the top 3 are going to be the fav.

and then comes boat B which includes the players ranked from 11 to 25

I'll even throw rafa into the boat A for the HC events:devil:

I hadn't thought of that! Do you really think he is impersonating Federer with those volleys??

Total BS. He didn't (& I'm sure you know that).

Yeah, looked as though he was just having fun while practicing.

Well, that's MTF.

Why would I argue ? I didn't say he's wrong, although I don't agree with all his points.
It's just that his comments lack insight and don't go any further than some stereotypes or some general conception. Like...Pete: "Shit, they ask me to talk about the current state of tennis, better look up some recent results quick."

ps Didn't Pete say at the end of last year that he see no one challenging Roger and that Roger is going to win 17-18 Slams. If he watch any tennis he would've known by then that Djoko would emerge as a big threat.

He recently told the reporters, speaking about this year's Stella Artois C'ship in Queen's, London, that

"It would mean the world to me if I was successful enough to win two huge tournaments (Queen's and Wimbledon) such as these but I don’t want to push myself too much"

My understanding is that he is 1000% sure that he could win both, but, for the sake of something, not quite clear to me, he will not do his best...

What kind of philosophy is this one ?

Give us a freakin' break, u little serbian maggot...

Someone told him that self confidence and arrogance is the way to reach the very top :shrug:

The downfall will hurt for sure... :)

Another quote, another thread.

Another suitcase in another hall.

Queens should actually be very interesting, if I recall correctly, Nole, Rafa and Roddick would all be playing there, no?

Funny how they avoid halle like the plague.

It would be interesting to see if Rafa can keep his stronghold as 'second on grass' there, Djoko would love to dethrone him, and that tournament could be another battle for number 2, I believe, should Rafa win the French and Nole makes it to the Semis.

The downfall will hurt for sure... :)

You understand wrong.

Before Federer won his first Grand Slam, who predicted that he would emerge as one of tennis's all-time greats?

Every one can't know everything.

There won't be any downfall for him anytime soon :wavey:

Federer sure is hurting.

I love seeing the EgoKing crash and burn

There won't be any downfall for him anytime soon :wavey:

True Nole's tennis is an evolution of the game.

There won't be any downfall for him anytime soon :wavey:

People also thought Chang would erase Borg's records ;)


I love seeing the EgoKing crash and burn

I guess he's doing just fine with his 12 slams ;)

It is ;)

I never thought that :angel:

Any type of good player can win 12 GS in that weak era. Playing injured players, chokers, teenagers and old men.

The only real GS Fed one was last years Wimby and he needed Nadal to get injured to win.

Now that Djokovic has arrived there will be no more tainted GS wins for Fed.

I never thought that :angel:

I guess you were barely born :o ;)

Any type of good player can win 12 GS in that weak era.

Fed is the luckiest guy on earth ;)

I guess you were barely born :o ;)



I didn't watch Chang's RG win in 1989 but I have seen most of his other important matches :p

Fed is the luckiest guy on earth ;)

Doesn't it feel good to say the truth.

Congrats, you have now seen the light.

I didn't watch Chang's RG win in 1989 but I have seen most of his other important matches :p

You're luckier this time, you've seen Djokovic winning his one slam :hug: :p

You're luckier this time, you've seen Djokovic winning his one slam :hug: :p


It wasn't his last Slam win, that's for sure :D

It wasn't his last Slam win, that's for sure :D

If you say so Nostradamus :o ;)

I also think Federer is the luckiest guy on earth !
He only had Rafa to compete in RG and could not win even that.
Rafa takes RG and Fedex takes rest , sad and lucky for him.
No wonder he has 12 major GS , there was no REAL competition !!
Rafa is good player on HC but not in same class as Joker and Fed.

I don't think Federer will brake Sampras record.
Joker is the future of mens tennis !

Joker is the future of mens tennis !

This should be lifetime sticked. We are so desperate to laugh.

Seriously, didn't you spank yourself at least once today?
What an unreal post.

Seriously, when did you see me writing that? I'm here to make life a living hell for Fedtards, not to be Novak's fanboy.

Actually , many commentators hinted about lack of quality in mens tennis before Joker turned up .
They pointed one thing , competition is good for tennis and from now on we will enjoy more than Rafa-Fed final but Joker - ???? finals aswell !

I listen Peter Fleming alot and everybody gives Fed respect but they know there was no real competition before Joker turned up.
Rafa was takong RG and Fedex was taking rest GS.

How exciting !!!

Now lets se what happens and how many will they take now ?

Serbian commentators? I guess they're as fanatic as most Serbian posters on here... :yawn: :zzz: :zzz:

Are you brain-damaged? Or that's not a pc question to ask a Fedtard?

Vucina ,
Ови немају благе , само су ту да провоцирају сваког ко покаже да подржава Ђоковића.
Нема везе , Новак ће бити број 1 сигурно до краја ове године !

I have not heard anybody respected in mens tennis to have anything against Joker and they all praise Novaks quality.
That proves that haters are jelous of Joker success and your opinnion means :haha::haha:

Одлично. Ја се такође надам да ће Новак бити број 1 до краја године али онолика гомила глупости у веѕи са Федерером ти није требала. ОК, твоја ствар. Мислим, понашаш се као и они о којима причаш. Ваљда ми можемо бити бољи од њих?

I actually think it would be interesting to see Federer play Queen's - the one time he did play, he got whipped by Byron Black!!
