Pete Sampras

I don't look at myself as a historical icon, but the reality of it is, yeah, I am playing for history now. ↗

I hate to lose, and I do whatever I can to win, and if it is ugly, it is ugly. ↗

I let my racket do the talking. That's what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches. ↗

I loved Wimbledon and what it meant, but the surface felt uncomfortable. I just didn't like it, I was a hard-court guy, a Californian kid. ↗

I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles. ↗

I've been into golf, trying to get into the gym to stay somewhat fit. I've got two boys now, they're active kids. ↗

I've worked hard my whole life, since I was a little kid. But now it's a point in my life now where I can just enjoy it, but at the same time I still need to work. ↗

If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me. ↗
