All of that mess you just said is assuming that Nadal would ever be ever able to consistently generate a return against Sampras in his prime. But don't take my word for it. Pay attention to what Agassi says at about the 4:55 mark of this video:

Combine that with the fact that Sampras held his serve 92% of the time during the 1990's. Nadal has never faced that.

If you look at it objectively, Chang beat Sampras close to half the time...Nadal is basically the chinaman on roids.
Not to mention the courts were faster and have gotten progressively slower over the years.
Fed has brought it up in the past when asked about across era comparisons and the big decline in how often he serve-volleys (especially at Wimbledon).

I'm not trying to discount Sampras' serve. It's maybe the best weapon in Wimbledon history. Rafa would still beat him IMO.
