re: Rafael Nadal: The playing style of Pete Sampras was not enjoyable to watch

Watching Sampras in his prime was like watching Secretariat run in the Belmont. When he was on, he was just that much better than everyone else on the tour, and to say he never really played anyone would be asenine, so please don't go there.

Sampras' championship wins were a series of tennis masterpieces. They were the perfect example of an athlete at the top of his game dissecting his opponents. If you find that to be boring, that's a "you" problem.
