Watching these two play each other was some of the greatest tennis the world has ever seen. Such varied styles going right at each other. I miss this variety in tennis today.

When i was a kid i used to emulate agassis game, short back swings and take the ball early, on the rise if need be, on or inside the baseline and never backing down. It was a tiring way to play as you need to be quick on your foot work but i had so much fun. Boy was it fun to watch agassi play.
Sublime hand skills from both of them . This really is ‘top notch’ tennis. They always seemed to bring out the best of each other. This was ALWAYS watchable!! Superb 👋👋👋👋
Seeing Sampras doing his serve and volley routine these days is quite a sight. He’s so smooth with it and no one plays like that anymore. Crazy to think how effective it was when it’s more or less an antiquated strategy now
Agassi a phenomenal player. No player has ever hit the ball better, before or since. Look how early he commits himself to the shot. Best hand eye coordination, and in tennis a deeply underrated gift. Anticipation, thinking with his racquet because his feet are already there. You can see this in juniors. The key is to buy a few milliseconds. It's not something you're aware of until you play somebody like that, and then you wonder where he's finding that extra couple of feet on every single shot you receive back - even if you're playing well. My top 3? Federer, Agassi and David Nalbandian. Guys that would have been unbeatable in any age of the game, regardless of equipment and conditions.
Such a great watch, thank you so much for posting this (and in pretty good quality, too!). Another great match of their I remember vividly was their 4 set all tiebreaks no breaks of serve match at US Open.
Great tennis. Loved watching the contrasting styles. I liked that a lot of the masters 1000s were best 3 out of 5, but thats probably not reasonable with how physical the game has gotten in the last couple decades. That was one aweful kit that Agassi wore there. Both hat and shirt were an affront to form and fashion.
if Pete had a backhand like this all throughout his career,he could have won a few more gs's....on the other hand the kind of tennis Agassi produced that day would be an average day for Fed with better forehand....imagine that
No it wouldn't. Agassi put a lot more pressure on Pete than Fed would because of how early he took the ball. Fed on the other hand is faster and moves much better than Andre, but Pete could get more rhythm against him because he took the ball more normally. Anyways, this wasn't a great day for Pete.
@@farid1406Yeah.. Andre definitely has the return and BH advantage but everything Else is Fed. FH, movement, touch, serve, variation, slice, netgame. Fed was always good against the Big servers though.. but obviously a prime Sampras is a different task.. not that this was a prime Sampras…
that day? haha it was the court, this is a very slow court. thats why agassi never stood a chance against sampras at the us open, much faster court.agassi needed slow courts like this or the one at the australian open.
I was there, and it...was....hot. You see folks in the stands with their shirts off. March in the desert is unpredictable. The next year, I went to the early rounds, to see more tennis, and watched the final on TV. No lie, people in the stands were wearing parkas, it was that cold.
Noticed Pete tried the same tactic on 2 big points early on, when he had SP in the first set and again at 5-5 in the first set TB - neutralising Agassi’s damaging CC backhand by moonballing with depth, and then hammering away with his forehand… but he uncharacteristically missed the forehands
Agassi said every great champion has a second gear when matches got tight. But Sampras had a 3rd gear, he not only played better but had a way to make you play worse.
my favourite rivalry. Agassi's backhands....... beautiful. just beautiful. you'll never see a better double hander .... even from Novak the pusher who just knocks it back gently. I know this is a highlight reel... but if you watch Agassi matches... you will see how he makes amazing returns PER GAME... as opposed to Novak who makes a few good returns PER MATCH.... imo Agassi is the best returner of all time by far.
Yeah i agree. Novak just pushes it back and it isn't really a weapon that makes you go WOW.... whereas Agassi, defined how to make the double hander a weapon.
I love Agassi and he is one of the all-time greats and in my opinion the best returner of all time, but I would not call Novak a "pusher" with respect to his return game. You don't win 24 Grand Slams with returns he "just knocks it back gently." Give Novak a little more respect than that please.
This generation „played“ tennis. Except of Tim Henman, no player thereafter had these volleyskills. And these with such an old and small racket. Pete is playing better volley today than the complete actual generation!
Tim Henman must have been incredibly frustrated to see the courts slow down so much during his best years. They should have left them fast. Changing string tech was already helping the clay courters.
What a terrible shame the courts were slowed so much that we no longer see serve and volley. This contrast in styles was so good to watch. But now courts are far too clay court friendly.
You have zero idea what you’re talking about. Agassi evolved to strategic thinking, moving his opponents from side to side, exhausting them, hammering them with precision shots.

I feel like at the very top, where skill is pretty similar, it's the athleticism that determines whether you win or lose more. Suppose Agassi has the strength of a Safin, or even just a bit less, he's going to play very even with Sampras.
It's mental strength more than anything. Pete accumulated better stats than Andre because he was a better player, but he beat him in the h2h because he was much stronger mentally and owned the big points.
@farid1406 Nobody can argue that Pete is more athletic than Andre. If you look at all the legends, there's no question they are athletically gifted also. Right now, do you see any player matching the athleticism of Alcaraz? Mental strength is a given at the very top. Players don't get there if they're mentally weak. Remember Djokovic and his gluten free diet? After changing diet, he started to beat Federer and Nadal because his physical conditioning changed. Also, if you are not as athletic as the other guy, that also affects you mentally during the match. Djokivic wouldn't have lost the Wimbledon final so easily if he could match Alcaraz's athleticism, but he couldn't.
Andre's backhand is the greatest of all time - maybe Stan's is on par. When it was on, Nalbandian's was on a higher level for the purists - but Andre's was more dependable and better on return.
Sampras the last of the great serve and volley guys. Always liked Pete. Such an overall great player. I was never an Agassi fan due to his history of being meh about stepping up and being the player he should have been. But after hearing his story and the fact that he made one of the greatest mid to late career comebacks, I admit I judged him harshly and really gained alot of respect for the guy. The last time Americans were competetive in the sport. Here is hoping we can be so lucky as to have a couple of greats like these back in the mix.
Your off and wrong. Sampras was a selfish player who only gave his all mostly in the 'slams, never played doubles or Davis cup because it would not pad his singles/slams record. Mcenroe was accurate in Sampras assessment and irritant in that he would not play Davis cup in the day to represent the U.S. On top of that Sampras is very cheap with tips and valet parking for a multi millionaire. Aggasi and wife Steffi Graff have been very generous in charities and community services over the years. With Sampras it's all about Sampras. Robert at 69.
@@bobmalack481 Sampras won 14 Grand Slams and 64 titles overall so obviously winning all tournaments was important and just not the Grand Slams. Do you know Pete Sampras personally to know he is "cheap" all the time or are you just saying that because Agassi mentioned an incident in his book. I think it is very arrogant of you to think you know all the details of Pete's life and what he does on a personal level.
It was common knowledge in tennis circles. Watch a celebrity charity match between them years ago where they played with wireless mikes for the stands to hear, it pretty much tells the whole story. Sampras also refused to coach up and coming players to develope because it takes the spotlight off him and adds nothing to his match wins.

Mcenroe had it right in the 90's about his assesment of Sampras. How old are you anyways?
It was good from the baseline, but not GOAT tier quality like Fed or Rosewall's. Pete's backhand slice was amazing on approaches though. It knifed SO low.

Obviously, you are not a true tennis fan, or you are a bad comedian.
@@stevencoardvenice I snoozed through plenty of caveman tennis in the 1990s...
@@TheTopspin77 Who are you to decide who is or isn't a true tennis fan?!? I well remember the 1990s era tennis and it was awful. Worst tennis decade of the last 50 years.

Complaining about the prize money, how tacky.
Have a sense of humor. He was joking about how rich some of those people are

Sampras serve and volley crap so boring
He could beat him at Indian Wells in their backyard but not at the US Open.
Sampras got destroyed again.
