Back in Wimbledon 99 Sampras played a great match to beat Agassi what
was your advise
this peak Sampras guy in 2001 when him was thrashed by Safin then
Hewitt in successive USO final?

Your daddy Whisper said in 2006 that Federer had already peaked.
And you certainly must bow (kneel?) before to his tier-1 expertise..
bob
sampras never told the world he was peak and expected to be for at
least 2 more yrs.

But he was at his peak in that final. With that sort of form did you
expect him to be taken
to the cleaner by Safin and Hewitt in USO within similar time span ?
It is pretty clear
that Federer 2011 isn't in the form of Federer in 2009 or earlier. He
is declining just any
other players of his age. Would Sampras after winning Wimbledon in
1999 believe he would
not win a slam for two years ?
