Sampras proves himself the player of the 90's
Pete Sampras capped off an incredible decade of tennis when he beat current world number 1 Andre Agassi in straight sets in the ATP Tour World Championship final last week. The effort was all the more impressive given that Agassi had beaten Sampras earlier in the round robin matches by the crushing score of 6-2, 6-2. For Sampras to come back and beat the Las Vegan so comprehensively in the final shows that he still has the ability to lift himself to a near unbeatable level of tennis; which has put him at the pinnacle of the men's game for so long.
