Djokovic and Sampras begin Champions Chat series

A new series has been launched by the ATP ahead of the Tour Finals called Champions Chat which sees players from different eras coming together to discuss the event and in this case what different aspects they'd take from each others games.

This time, it was Novak Djokovic and Pete Sampras. Two legends of the game who discussed this and in particular like alluded to what they like from each others games.

"I want that return of serve," Sampras said. "Everyone always ask me who would give me a hard time if I was playing today, it would be Novak because of his return. With Andre, I could always get it by him if I was picking my spots, but with Novak, it would be tough to get by him because of his stretch."

"I wouldn't mind exchanging my return and speed for your serve and volley game," he said. "I think I would take that, would be lovely to experience that kind of matchup."

"I cannot say I was copying Pete because my game is completely different from his, but I just love the way he dealt with pressure and just played his best when he needed it the most," Djokovic continued. "He always just found the first serve and always held his nerves."
