I just don't think tennis has the level of competition that it had back in the '80s, so it's easier for a good player to dominate. Back in the '80s you had Borg, McEnroe, Connors, Lendl, Wilander. Edberg, Becker, Agassi...Is the top 10 that deep in today's game?
ETA: Just looked up the top 10 rankings during Sampras' dominant years, and there wasn't nearly the star quality deep into the top 10 that there was in the '80s either.

Agassi doesn't count as the 80's...he didn't win his first GS until '92.
Right now, you have Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, and Wawrinka all with multiple slams. There's also a ton of quality guys who aren't winning titles because of the domination of these guys. The level of competition is amazing right now.
