      @@ciaronsmith4995 I say this as a huge Agassi fan, but Sampras' serve is the single most dominant shot in the history of tennis. Dude was serving bombs with the limited racket technology of the day. And not just the serve speed, but his placement was unreal and his service motion was so repetitive that it was hard to know just where he was going with it. Yes, his overall game was more limited than the other all-time greats, but he also had a knack for playing huge from the baseline on big points, especially that running forehand, and he hurt Agassi badly with that shot on so many big points in big matches. Other than in Australia, you just always got the sense that Pete was going to find a way against Andre.

      @@ciaronsmith4995 A lot of fantastic players never won the French, though. It was a different sport back then. The French, on clay, was drastically different from Wimbledon and the US Open, much more so than it is now. Now with the racket technology, slower courts everywhere, and even slower balls, physicality and defensive tennis is much more a part of the action. Tennis is largely a baseline war now. I appreciated the serve-and-volley games of the power players on the grass and hard courts back then. It provided a great contrast in matches with baseliners. Don't get me wrong, I still love to watch tennis now, but I will never love to watch it as much as I did in the Agassi era.
