In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

If Davis Cup was a little bit...

If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me.

I've been into golf, trying to get into the gym to stay somewhat fit. I've got two boys now, they're active kids.

I hate to lose, and I do whatever I can to win, and if it is ugly, it is ugly.

That's not what I'm looking forward to, just being home and just kind of not really sure kind of what to do with myself.

Pete Sampras 88 quotes

By putting pressure on myself...

By putting pressure on myself to develop a great game, I had less pressure to win. These days, I tell kids that the way I grew up, it wasn't about winning. It was about playing well, about playing the "right" way. That approach helped me enjoy the game and develop mine to its maximum potential.

I'm enjoying my retirement, enjoying my life. I have two kids and a lot of my time is spent chasing these two animals.

The future is flying home. That's the immediate future. But long-distance future, I plan on being back. I'm not going to end my time here with that loss.

I guess I get my strength from my legs, which are also important in tennis.

Pete Sampras 88 quotes

There should be more of an off-season in the game. I think you need to have less tournaments, more of a break at the end of the year so guys can recover.

Pete Sampras 88 quotes

I don`t know why, but I love ...

I don`t know why, but I love the dog eat dog nature of tennis. It`s real, it`s brutal and there`s no hiding place - it's like a one to one street fight. I love the intensity that comes with knowing you walk off court either a winner or a loser. It`s daunting but very exciting. There is no one to blame except yourself, no one cares who comes second.

Choking is being in a positio...

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.

When I tied the record five years in a row, even over in Europe, it wasn't really talked about. It is disap-pointing because it is one of the toughest things to do in sports.

When you go through certain moments of your career and you're struggling, it just takes time. Time heals, when you're a little bit down.

I admire the way golfers handle themselves. But tennis players are a lot younger, as a rule. There aren't many teenagers on the golf tour.

Pete Sampras 88 quotes

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.

Success is walking out of here with the title, and anything less is not good enough in my book.

Pete Sampras 88 quotes

A champion is suppose to hate...

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.

Pete Sampras 88 quotes

I don't look so much for tips...

I don't look so much for tips. But when they interview a Nicklaus or a Palmer, I'm all ears. I listen to guys who have done it, been successful for years.

Pete Sampras 88 quotes

If I win and play well, then ...

If I win and play well, then the ranking will take care of itself. Defending points is really not a problem. Just go out and play and not worry about it.
