I am a huge Fedtard and never liked Pete (but I do appreciate him now). I truly believes Pete's A+ game, especially at Wimbledon, is half a notch better than Fed's. You just flat couldn't touch his serve some days, like the 1999 final against peak Agassi.

Some of this might come down to '90's grass (faster) versus '02-present grass (recipe was changed and the courts slowed down a bit). Pete has a better net game, Fed is probably a better all around game (though Pete was no slouch from the baseline and did blow Agassi off the court from the baseline some days).

Good analysis

I grew up watching Sampras and while my nostalgia tinted glasses will have me believing Sampras would win a best of 7 I think it would be close.

Fed greatest all around tennis player though.

At least we can agree Sampras won in the wife department.
