European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 7, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                I thursday juy7, 1994 or sports the stars and stripes Page 29sampras might be Best of All time history is the the opponent now. Pete Sam Pras is playing against ghosts and memories. The Tal ent is special the work ethic marvelous a and the serve and Volley Arentt bad. Such a bewitching appealing blend is Sampras except for those on the other Side of the net. A a he a too Good a a said Goran Ivanisevic. Goran said it again. And again and again a a he a too  in a sport of overweening ego where self Confidence seems to come packed in Nike shoe boxes the comment is just As revealing As Sampras is private. Sampras was too Good for Ivanisevic sunday at Wimbledon taking Only 1 hour 55 minutes in a 7-6, 7-6, 60 Victory that gave Pete a second straight championship on the lawns of the All England Tennis and croquet club. Two in a Row and he a still a month from his 23rd birthday. Four of the last five grand slam tournaments. Power passion and a touch of Genius. A one year and a half a said Ivanisevic the croat who a also 22, Quot Peters playing this level of Tennis very High. I mean i never had a  Peters chances Are unlimited. Sampras could become the first Man to win Wimbledon three straight years since Bjorn Borg he of the wooden Racket and dust mop hair did it five times 1976 through 1980. Sampras could become the first male american to win Wimbledon three straight period. A a in a going to be around you know a offered Sampras a for quite some  we know. Others on tour know. Art Spander a there is no use thinking about ,�?� reminded Boris Becker a former Wimbledon Champion. A nobody but Pete. The rest of us play for no. 2.�?� Sampras lean Strong elegant a product of Southern California is playing for the decades. A the could when its Over a said Peters coach Tim Gullickson a be one of the greatest Ever to play the game. He was brought up with an Eye on history now maybe hell rewrite  there is no affectation in Sampras of perhaps at the beckoning of his agents he acted a trifle out of character when Ivanisevic hit a wide backhand Volley to close the match. Pete hurled his Racket High and far into the crowd jammed around Centre court. And then he crossed Over whipped off his sweaty shirt and threw it toward another group of fans. A i should have taken ail my clothes off a chuckled Sampras a because i won two in a Row. I just Felt like doing it. I did t feel like putting them Back in the  Sampras is a Tennis player not an actor or a comedian. Vest he wins matches a Brit pointed out but when will he win the hearts of those at Centre court a group that included everyone from Princess i to . Secretary of state Warren Christopher. What Sampras should have said is that a Sublime a i mean a reiterated Ivanisevic a the was just too Good. When you lose two sets 7-6, you done to Feci great but then you know the Guy is playing very Good and you have to hit All the first serves Alt the Good volleys. Then you crack a bit a Ivanisevic had at least one service Ace in each full game in the first two sets. He had 25 aces in Alt compared to Sampras 17. But Ivanisevic had Only one in the last set. Indeed he cracked a bit Ion Siriac was Boris Beckers first manager. He a Ivanisevich a manager. A let me give Sampras the biggest compliment i Ever paid a Tennis player a said Siriac. A after Rod. Laver Sampras is the most Complete player i have Ever seen. John Mcenroe was Beautiful. But he never had the Power of  Sampras said he did no to play a bad match in the tournament As should be obvious from his straight set victories in every match except one. He has the serve. He has the touch and quickness. He a a great athlete. \ to win and focus on winning. I just Hope people can appreciate How i go about my Tennis and How l  this is the Way he played Wimbledon 1994 he lost one set in 22. He had a Chance to be broken Only twice by Ivanisevic once in the first set once in the second. It did no to happen he gave up Only seven Points in the third set As Goran got ready to split for split a his Hometown. A carry myself and the Way i hit my strokes is pretty smooth a. Some time ago Sampras was in the first class Section on a flight Between tour stops. Barry Bonds of the giants was up thereto. The autograph hounds paid obeisance to Bonds and ignored Sampras. It wont be that Way much longer. It May not even be that Way now. People will know who Pete Sampras is. A a. A Pete Sampras is the Best Tennis player of the times its not heresy to suggest he might he the Best of All time. Tit san Francesco examiner sports scoreboard from Page 28. Third Batemen.
