Answer 4

Federer AINEC. He has more slams than Sampras, Sampras never won Roland Garros, never even made the finals at RG, never won the career slam, never won a slam 5 times in a row (let alone two slams 5 times in a row), never won 3 slams in a year (let alone 3 slams in a year 3 different times), did not have the all court game that Roger does, does not have the # of masters titles Roger does, etc etc. This was an actual argument in like 2007. But Roger has far and away surpassed Sampras and Roger is still playing to keep adding onto his greatest, while Sampras is done. And people saying it's Rod Laver are retarded. Laver won his one Calendar Slam against amateurs because pros could not play in the Grand Slams, and over the entirety of his career 3 of the 4 slams were played on grass court and the French was still played on clay. How easily would Federer have cruised through 2004-2008 if 3/4 slams were on grass? He never would have even lost a set in 2006-7 in slams. There were no hardcourts and the players were no where near as competent as today. It's like saying Babe Ruth would still be the greatest player ever today just because he played so long ago and was great. Babe Ruth would not even be an average player in the modern day because pitchers aren't throwing 50mph meatballs. Just like today, Laver wouldn't be handling 140mph serves like he used to handle 70mph serves from so long ago. I'm not saying Laver wasn't great back in the day, but it's so much harder to dominate a sport as time goes on. Look at every sport. As time marches on, players get better and better and even out the playing field.

Answer 5

Leander Paes has 1-0 singles record against Pete Sampras

Answer 6

Ferreira's record against Sampras (6-7) is probably the most impressive, especially given that he is on paper not nearly as good a player as say agassi. his 0-11 record against agassi perhaps best puts into perspective his sampras record.

Answer 7

well if your looking only at Win V. Loss record, Federer would be the best since he never lost to him.

but if your looking more broad like best record but also played alot of matches, i'd say Agassi because they always had close matches and they played each other like 30+ times

Answer 8

Rafter

Answer 9

Andrea Agassi is the best when head to head comes

Answer 10

IS IT ANDRE AGGASI ? I KNOW THEY HAD SOME REALLY GREAT MATCHES, BUT SAMPRAS HAD SUCH A GREAT SERVE. HE WON THE MOST BETWEEN THE TWO. AGGASI WAS BETTER IN VOLLEY ACTION .(in my opinion)
