Agassi and the rivalry with Sampras
The
American Andre Agassi spoke about his contemporary Pete Sampras, with whom they
contested the tennis throne during part of the 90s:
"I
think rivalries aren’t guaranteed in any sport. It doesn’t matter how talented
a generation is, you need to capture the imagination of cultures and
people," Andre Agassi said on the Pat McAfee show.
"In
the sense of me and Pete [Sampras], we weren’t just two opposite players, which
was so obvious on the tennis court, we were two opposite personalities and two
opposite people altogether. So, to find those… you need dynamics," he
added.
"Federer
and Nadal, talking about righty lefty, one who makes it look like it’s so
ballistic and one who makes it look like poetry. So, there’s some special
elements to rivalries," Agassi concluded.
