Roger Federer vs Pete Sampras: Wimbledon fourth round, 2001 (Extended Highlights)

when the goat beat the goat to become the goat

no coaching, no racket breaking, no verbal abuse to the ump. sampras had class.

So Federer stops Sampras from winning a record 8th Wimbledon title and then proceeds to do so himself 16 years later.

Exactly said: "The end of an era, and the beginning of a new era"

Commentator : "Federer could hardly believe it. The emotion of the moment, of having beaten the greatest grass court player of all time" Federer : hold my beer...

Sampras retired at the age of 32. Federer still active with almost 40 - and still top 10. Amazing player.

Almost 20 years later, Federer still in top 3, I lift my hat to that :))

Whos here after whatching his interview with vogue?

Sampras was only 29 man the dude looks old.

I'm not a fan of Sampras, but 2nd serve Sampras >>> anyone

How ironic that at the opening of the video the sporstscaster said "he will be the first man ever to win eight Wimbledon!"

whos still watching this in June 2019?

Still gives me goosebumps to see the end of an era and beginning of another.

Sampras just 28 (29, corrected) ...people keep saying that he was too old and thus lost against Federer. Federer was 37 when he almost defeated Djokovic in Wimbledon 2019. Soooo...

Who on earth can hit second serve over 120+mph into the corner consistently with the racquet made in the 80s?? The guy is not human.

At 13:32 Sampras serve @ 136 mph is incredibly impressive given the racquet technology back then was inferior. that's pure technique...still one of the greatest serves in my book

2001...god, this seems like a generation ago, and Federer is still going strong, almost 20 years later.

Unbelievable Federer seems like a 35 year old in his composure and focus . Incredible nerves as a 19 year old against monster Sampras.

Sampras was 29 there? He looks at least 40.

jesus that court is lightning fast compared to today
