That Sampras motion is so simple, it seems crazy he can generate all of that power. The shoulder turn and knee bend/explosion do it, I guess. I suspect his arm is noodle loose, too. But, with all of that action to generate the power, the accuracy is mind boggling.

Fed servebotting his way to the last two Wimbledon finals has put him just behind Pete on the GOAT serve list IMO. But, Fed never seemed to clutch serve down 15-40 the way Pete did and his second serve isn't quite Pete's.

Isner won a nice battle against Popsicle. He is going to have no gas in the tank for New York. Radwanska looks extra whorish in some gold lame type outfit. Stan and Kyrgios coming up right now.

The two most perfect motions, imho, in sports are the Sampras serve and Barry Bonds' swing, and both of them have that super simple quality about them. With Sampras, there isn't a millimeter of wasted motion. Same deal with Bonds. I don't know why I find strokes like that fun to watch, but I do. Agassi's backhand qualified as well.
