It was always a pleasure to watch, when these two guys played against each other´s. Sampras was good as always, but Agassi was even better. Thanks You-tube, it is really nice to watch these old classical matches.
This was probably Agassi's best surface suited for his game (which explains why he won 4 out of his 8 slams there). The apt complex I used to live at years ago had one court that was a bit on the rubbery side. I'm assuming it was probably close to rebound ace if not rebound ace. The ball bounced differently. Seemed to me that one court made the ball more predictable or always put the ball in the perfect striking zone. Also with the court being rubbery, it didn't seem to take toll on your legs and knees. The drawback was there were some dead spots on the court-----probably due to sun/weather damage. Also transitioning back to a regular hard court was always a nightmare. Timing was thrown off pretty bad.
@@Romans8-9 If he had the focus and determination early in his career like he did in the second half of his career, he probably would have given Sampras' 14 GS record a run for its money. On the flip side, maybe he wasn't as burnt out like his peers during the latter part b/c of the paths his career took. His marriage to Steffi was also a huge boost.
But only agassi managed 14 wins against pete total...too bad its outweighed by 20 losses Regardless he is the one of the two to have the career golden slam.
Agassi, absolutely fierce in this. Some years ago, I always thought Agassi was far inferior to Sampras. But after watching more videos of Agassi vs many other players, regardless of who has winning record, Agassi is right up there. Dare I say, Agassi's playing style is more modern, more adaptable to today's tennis.
Such night and day comparing this match with us open in 1995. You can tell sampras coundnt get the speed on his serves on rebound ace. Without the serve sampras is one dimensional. Thats why he struggled at french open. If agassi hadnt skipped so many australian opens, I dont think sampras would have won a single australian open.
Sampras was 6-0 against Agassi at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open but 0-3 against Agassi at Australian Open and French Open. Should Sampras get praised for being 6-3 in Grand Slam matches against his rival or criticized for not being better at the Australian Open and French Open to play Agassi?
Marat Safin defeated Agassi in a classic 5-set semifinal one year at the Australian Open! So Agassi was definitely not unbeatable at that major - as great as he was there during his career!
@@michaelbarlow6610 I should have mentioned the year. I was talking about the 95 final. I also agree that the Australian open was his best major. He won 4 of his 8 titles there.
Helllllllz yeah. Nothing better than to watch the two best at their respective styles.

SPECTACULAR ANGLES FROM AGASSI
The sound of tennis on rebound ace courts is sensational.
So much fun to watch these two amazing players/legends of tennis!! 👏👏💪💪
PETE SAMPRASS FORHANDS ON THE DEAD RUN WAS MOST DANGEROUS AND AGRESSIVE .
This is more entertaining tennis then most of todays mens tennis imho
well duh, these are 2 of the best players to ever play the game
way better then
I miss Agassi and I miss that rebound ace court!
Me too. He had an amazing backhand cross court.
Just used to smash it.

@@paulc7804 Crazy he only started going there that very year. If he started earlier he might have had a few more slams there!

The court back then so much faster, smacking banging... Point were short, depending who's better on the day
2:13 - that is just unbelievable.
Pete Sampras was definitely great to and joy to watch🎾🎾🔥🔥
Only Agassi win against Sampras in Grand Slam final (Sampras beat him in wIMBLEDOON final 99 and 3 Us Open final-90,95,2002)...
But only agassi managed 14 wins against pete total...too bad its outweighed by 20 losses
Regardless he is the one of the two to have the career golden slam.
To be fair, he beat Sampras at AO 2000, in the SF, that was more of a final than the actual final.

Agassi just needs a parrot on his shoulder to complete the look.
lol
He would make you walk the plank for that line, sir! :)
@@BrunoSilvaRox I think that ship has already sailed.
😂
😂😂
I went from law and kid vs big mom to this. And now I’m hooked
Lmao based, me too
sampras with the hat and agassi with the bandanna. classic

Agassi first time came 1995in australia and win ...
Interesting how the visual technology worked. Perhaps it's a glitch, but sometimes you see the ball where it lands before it actually... lands
SEE THAT HUGE SMLE AT THE END
good dsys. when tennis was awesome
Agassi seemed fit, not even need take a small break after running hard on a point.
Sampras vowed to never wear a hat again
Sampras was 6-0 against Agassi at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open but 0-3 against Agassi at Australian Open and French Open. Should Sampras get praised for being 6-3 in Grand Slam matches against his rival or criticized for not being better at the Australian Open and French Open to play Agassi?
Rockman died, pirate arrived to conquer AO 1995.
Here Sampras couldn't win Agassi's pirate form.
Go agassi
Andrew Agassi was the Novak Dkokovic of the day
What does that mean? Agassi plays nothing like Djokovic and he is definitely a much more exciting player than Novak.
@@TheTopspin77 Probably just means he is aggressive baseliner like Novak but I do think Agassi was more exciting.
Nobody could beat Agassi in this tournament. I'm surprised Sampras did won a set.
It was Sampras. He wasn't going to let a rival demolish him, no matter how good he was playing.
Marat Safin defeated Agassi in a classic 5-set semifinal one year at the Australian Open! So Agassi was definitely not unbeatable at that major - as great as he was there during his career!

Das ist doch alles ein Scheiss gegen das heutige Niveau!
Not true...much more class
