Pete Sampras Quotes

I am going to hold serve the majority of the time. It is nice to have a little time to return serve Picture Quote #1

I let my racket do the talking. That’s what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches Picture Quote #1

The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I made it look so easy on court all those years. No one realized how hard I had to work. No one realized how much I had to put into it. They underestimated my intensity Picture Quote #1

I hate to lose, and I do whatever I can to win, and if it is ugly, it is ugly Picture Quote #1

People wrote me off, but I believed in myself. I got the confidence back, and it grew and grew. I won my first major and my last at the place that changed my life Picture Quote #1

I’m enjoying my retirement, enjoying my life. I have two kids and a lot of my time is spent chasing these two animals Picture Quote #1

I could be a jerk and get a lot more publicity, but that’s not who I am Picture Quote #1

Retirement is a work in progress. I try to figure out my day, and what I know about myself is that I need structure Picture Quote #1

My serve was there, everything was just clicking. Those are the days you dream about, especially in a final Picture Quote #1

Throughout my career, my mind rarely wandered, and I was never sidetracked by distractions, no matter what I was going through off the court Picture Quote #1

A champion is suppose to hate to lose, and it wasn’t like I was ever crazy about the idea. But I learned to deal with losing without having my spirit or confidence broken, which would help immensely over time, not just in the big picture but even in specific matches when I found myself in a jam. Fear of losing is a terrible thing Picture Quote #1

Choking is being in a position to win, and then experiencing some critical failure of nerve or spirit. That never happened to me. And I can’t help but think it was because I was never afraid to lose Picture Quote #1

I don’t look at myself as a historical icon, but the reality of it is, yeah, I am playing for history now Picture Quote #1

When I committed to playing a little tennis in some exhibitions, it was the best thing for me. It got me in shape. It got me out of the house. It got me doing something I love to do Picture Quote #1

It’s not my place to tell you whom to vote for, to take any political stand, to tell you what religion to believe in. I’m an athlete. I can influence certain things, but when I see other athletes and celebrities telling you whom to vote for, I actually get a bit offended Picture Quote #1
