“I think Pete Sampras has really reached his peak. About the only thing he doesn't do is cook.”
Michael Chang
“I don't think Pete ran a red light or had a speeding ticket. That's the kind of kid he is, ... I wish people understood how small the mistake he made is.”
Pete Rose
“I never faced Pete (Sampras) in a match. I think from watching, his is the best serve ever. And he is the only guy that I would probably not take the bet that he would so often offer in practice -- he's down love-40, says '10 bucks, I still hold serve.' I probably wouldn't even take that against him. So many times he would come back and win. He would just put it on the dime. I also wouldn't take the bets when we were just practicing our serves, he put just a tennis ball can on the other side, and says, 'A hundred bucks for who hits more.' That's not a safe bet with him.”
James Blake
“When you have guys who are involved in national championship teams that are as well-respected as Pete I think the fact that of the people around him want to give him his just due is justifiably so.”
Charlie Weis
“Pete was great, ... (But) I think (Federer) is the best I've played against.”
Andre Agassi
“I think it's unfortunate given the auspices of the Marquette Plan (developed) by Congressman (Pete) Visclosky.”
Paul Myers
“It's good work by Pete to qualify and I think he will do some damage against Haas in the first round,”
Wayne Arthurs
