Congrtas to Pet Sampras! :bounce: I certainly never thought he would win another grand slam title!
And remember, Pete lost in the first round in the U.S. Open warmup tournament on long Island. So this grand slam title came out of nowhere in my opinion.
Sampras now has 14 grand slam singles titles. And no men's tennis player will ever surpass that!
I think Lleyton tired Andre yesterday. It tool a lot out of andre both mentally and physically to overcome LLeyton he could not keep that up against Sampras.

I think Pete is lucky to have an easier time in the Semi, knowing that he has an edge over Sjeng. They say you have to be lucky to be good. But you also have to be good to be lucky.
So Congrats to Pete for winning the title, and Andre for putting up a good fight.
Congrats Pete... I am so happy
Pete & Andre, you both are truly champions Can't imagine how I am going to follow male tennis, once they have retired :sad:
Congrats to Pete! I'm not really a fan, but I like the fact he confounded all the doubters and came through for a sweet victory... Congrats to Andre, too!
I was watching this match this morning and was on the edge of my seat in that 4th set! Pete was skating on thin ice with his service games but pulled it out when we least expected it! Bravo and kudos to Andre for a gallant performance!

I have bought recently from Austrian ORF TV a very rare match between James Blake and Vincent Spadea from Vienna 2002. It was the match described by Vincent in his book when James accused Spadea of unsportsmanship when he took toilet break during the second set. It cost me 100 Euro but what a...

Just curious as I was thinking the other day that Nadal's next Slam outside of RG Will have some significance attached to it regardless of where it is. So what do you guys think? What will add to his legacy the most?
Australian Open - Obviously the only slam he hasn’t won at least twice. A...
