Sure. He's mostly famous for beating Sampras. He may be a good coach,
but he was at best middling as a player, even as claycourt specialists
went.

Sampras never lost to Blanco. It was a 'match-up issue' so doesn't count.

Most good coaches weren't great players. Being good at something
doesn't mean you're good at teaching that something. Sometimes quite
the opposite... you can't teach talent.

Of course, and this match-up issue was a doozy: Sampras sucked on clay
and Galo Blanco didn't.
Now, to bring your argument on Federer over to this thread, I assume
you're about to tell us that Sampras must have sucked, right?

He didn't suck on clay as he beat 7 FO champs on clay, won Italian Open, Davis Cup on clay etc. The loss to Blanco doesn't count for the same reasons Fed's losses to Rafa don't count - match-up issue.

Rafa as we know is probably the best clay court player ever in the game. And what is Blanco's standing in the game ? Journey men and not even a top 50 regular during his whole career. If Sampras had a match up issue against a journeyman and what does that say about Sampras clay court capability. Amazing level of stupidity is shown in the above post.

That would have been a decent argument if we were talking about, say,
Wheaton. But Sampras was a *much* weaker player on clay than he was on
any other surface. So yes, he sucked on clay.

There's an argument somewhere in there? Listen, the reasons Nadal is a
match-up issue for Federer have been hashed out at length. The match-
up issue Sampras had with Galo Blanco had nothing to do with anything
above ground level.

And yet didn't even come close to winning the FO... hummmm...

Is Whisper still goin on about Sampras winning a clay "tune up"....that will clearly mean "f*#k all". The guy is a walking contradiction....I wish there was a way I could re-killfile him so that I only get his posts 3rd hand rather than 2nd! :)
