What surface?
I would take Fed on clay. Toss up on others.

Pete the Chimp.

I'm still trying to figure it out.
He did say his WIFE thinks it'd be 4-3, so that is what happens when women talk sports.

Both in their prime at wimbledon would be epic.

I think Pete at Wimbledon, Fed at Roland Garros, and its a toss up at the U.S. and Aussie opens. Fed has been a bit more dominant, but he hasn't had competition like Agassi and maybe a few other guys Pete had to deal with IMO. Especially early in Pete's career.

So true. The only real threat Fed has had is Nadal.

Is this entirely true? I'm not saying you're wrong, but it could also be true that he did have the same level of competition but destroyed them in ways not even Pete destroyed his competition. Fed in Pete's era would have been equally as dominant IMO

Watching Nadal give Federar fits leads me to believe that Agassi would have ate his lunch. (When he was taking it seriously anyway)

No. The general consensus among tennis analysts and people who follow the sport closely is that today's talent pool is the strongest and deepest in the history of the sport. Fed > Sampras. And he wouldn't just beat Sampras at Roland Garros, he'd embarass him.

Not even close to true
This is the deepest mens tennis has been since the 70s and might be the best it has ever been

I know a young Federer beat Pete a couple times, but I think that Samprass was the most dominate Serve Volley guy in the Open Era.
If the surface is grass it is Samprass if its hard its Samprass, if it is Clay it would be Federer.

You think that the spin that Fed uses could win? I do not Samprass covered the court and had shots that made people want to quit.

Fed's all court game is way too strong for Sampras to do much damage to him, even on grass.
