Roger Federer And Pete Sampras are the two best tennis players in history, in total They have 15 Wimbledon titles to their credit. There have always been debates about who was the better grass player in their prime, and even former world number one such as Jim Courier shared his thoughts on what would happen if they met each other at the All England Club.
On The Tennis Worthy podcast, Courier highlighted the quality of both players, saying: “We could be 70-68 it could be a match like Isner vs Mahut if it weren’t for the super tiebreaker, because it’s hard to see much of a difference between them. Federer played a more complete game than Sampras. as his sharp backhand was better, but both you and I saw first hand how determined Pete was as a player. Looking at Pete’s record in grand finals, he 14 wins and 4 losses, but he lost most of the finals towards the end of his career,” he said.
Courier considers Federer favorite on other surfaces
What the Courier is sure of is what would happen if they collided with each other at their peak on another surface. “Sampras was very good at finishing off opponents, and he played in an era of high-profile players, so I don’t know if he can point the compass one way or the other at Wimbledon. I believe that on a slower surface Roger would probably have a slight advantage because his backhand could have neutralized more of Sampras’ shots,” he concluded.
The most interesting thing is that the only time Federer and Sampras faced each other was precisely in the 1/8 finals of Wimbledon 2001, with the victory of the Swiss with 7-6(7) 5-7 6-4 6-7(2) 7-5 check. However, this meeting took place in the last part of Sampras’s careerand not in his prime, since Roger belongs to a different generation.
