JCK and Andy, I am sensing a lot of sour grapes here. Granted I like, respect, and admire Sampras, but Federer is a class act. He is a true gentleman, a very elegant and eloquent player, so give him the respect and credit he deserves. I would have liked to see both players in their prime taking on one another. I actually think it would have been quite close, with Federer slightly edging it.
I am glad you guys aren't athletes, as you would be such sore losers, kinda like Serena Williams.
As for this era not having any good players, what about Roddick, Hewitt, not to mention Murray, Djokovic, and of course Nadal?
