The Original One - Pistol Pete

Sampras never dominated the tour as consistently as Roger is doing, and frankly, roger's overall game is 'SLIGHTLY' better than sampras; although i am out to argue that sampras's forehand was something divine. as was his over head , trademark slam dunk smash. and his serve and volley. see .. i started it off and now i am all singing how sampras was the original magician, the original mid court - mid match shot inventor, the mantle roger has taken with such effortless ease and aplomb.
Kher, i can go on and on about this, the reason i am posting is that Sampras decided this year that he will make a comeback - of sorts. Not professional, hard grind of ATP, but one exhibtion here, other there , playing in World Team Tennis tournament and such. Last night he played an exhibition to open up the women's JP Morgan Chase tennis open by playing against his long time rival and friend, Jim Courier and what a pasting it was for courier ! 6-1, 6-4 !! I stumbled upon this article in cnnsi. Have fun and all of those old schoolers, 3 cheers to pistol Pete ... Irreplaceable champion, i tell you.
