Class act! Pete Sampras is the BEST!!!

What a beautiful and emotinal speech ; thank you Pete for everything ; you're the best tennis player !

That was cool. Pete Sampras was the best server to ever play the game of tennis. I became emotional with him. Pete Sampras the Great One. Stay safe and Bcool.

He is the best in my book. Don't care much about the others who came after him.

He was not known to be emotional on the court but people show it at different times in different ways .

The greatest fast court player in the history of the game!

He is a really human!! Best of the bests!!

Truly the greatest tennis player , so humble yet so brutal on court with the fastest services

Pete made me love tennis because of his amazing talents and attitude when on the court. He's so beautiful to watch play - so precise, fluid and very calculated . . . without any air of arrogance.

Its amazing to see such an admirable champion so vulnerable and shining the spotlight on his support system/family rather than just himself. Love it!

For me the greatest and most powerful tennis player

Well said. Humble and GREATfull. Nothing more and nothing less. Thank You. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Very nice speech, another ace by Pete Sampras!

Was more of an Agassi fan growing up but Pete Sampras was an all time great and class act. It was a pleasure to watch him play.

This is probably the only video that I have seen with zero dislikes. There is humanity after all.

OMG.. such an emotional speech 🙌🏻. Pete, to my memory did not show this side when he was playing.

great man great player

It makes a person's heart full to see a man who loves the game of tennis so much, played with class, respected his opponents, and moved with such wonderful balance on grass and hard courts. A great thing about KZfaq videos we get the chance to continue to be in awe of amazing shot making and serving by this giant of the game.

Love this guy even more now.

This Legend's serve was like watching a beautiful form of ballet ❤ he would lift the foot, ball on the middle of the racket, one look at his opponent, then that beautiful backward bend...and wack the ball, which would usually end up being the Perfect Ace 🥎

such a class act

Such a wonderful human being Pete is , it comes from the Family.

I admire Pete’s strength for speaking about Tim. The way he toughed it out there at the end was powerful. Even though I grew up on Fed and Rafa I always watched Pete’s documentaries and matches as a kid. I was amazed at how relatable of a guy he seemed to be; humble but hungry. Sure he’s #4 on the slams list but no doubt he’d give the big 3 trouble regardless of the surface in todays game. You’re a legend Pete, thank you 💯

Pete played such a beautiful and powerful type of tennis. Looking at his hardcourt matches, I miss how much bigger a role volleying used to have. Amazing ability at the net to anticipate the other's shot.

Pete really loves his family...and I think it's great! What a great guy.

Part of the bloodline of classy tennis players.

great champion, great man with a big heart, pistol Pete

My favorite player and the best to me. When he retired he was the GOAT.

Simply the greatest...❤❤

Wow, so moving. Bravo Pete.

back then, about 20 years ago, I thought that his play was boring because it seems like serve and volley so easy. but now I think I was so lucky to be able to watch him live play against Agassi, Chang, Safin...

"The General "..Awesome Player

Pete Sampras my one and only tennis player that I admire

Very, very, human Pete. God bless you !

What a winner. This man embodies success in life. God bless. Even though your competition days are over, you have plenty to offer our society. Keep that winning spirit until the God of our days calls you home.

An amazing player, Pete Sampras is in a class of his own

Que hermoso y emotivo discurso; gracias Pete por todo; Para mi eres el mejor tenista de todos los tiempos....y siempre será así

I love you Pete ….You are the best…I miss your game

That was such a beautiful speech by my all time favourite tennis player the great Pete Sampras! Love you Pete and thank you for all the memories. God bless you!

Pete You are the Greatest player ever of all the time….

Randomly found a link to this on Twitter. So glad I did. Blown away.

I was not expecting this level of emotion from Pete Sampras.

I love him my first idol!

Beautiful!!

Love this guy!

This guy just made me cry wth

I wish he had a clone ❤️

I despised Pete Sampras because he beat every player I liked. Then he went on to marry my biggest crush. They hate gathered. Then time went by, and I grew to love and admire Pete and everything he brought to the game. He is the embodiment of all the characteristics of a player I value. Love you Pete Sampras!

even the big 3 looked up to this guy and rightfully so

Wow! So emotional. Paul Annacone was a gentle player for sure.

Absolute best

World class ❤️❤️❤️

Where is this Hall of Fame, in Wimbledon? Love his honesty, and wow, he truly bottled up his emotions for years.

With his fine self 😍

He is the greatest Greek decent tennis player ever!

🎉❤

I know Pete is the most emotional tennis player in history. That is why he is my role model and the most beloved by tennis fans. He is the true champion of all time.

As a hard core Novak fan i will said that nobody can't beat Sampras in his peak mode . Not Novak , no Raffa , no Federer .

Pete tu es tellement vrai et magnifique ! Tu reste pour moi le meilleur joueur de tous les temps !!! Ton émotion est vraie ! Ça fait 32 ans que je te connais et je te suis toujours avec autant de plaisir ! Merci pour tous ces beaux moments partagés avec nous 👍🤗🤗🤗 I love you 💜 pour tout ce que tu as partagé 🙏🙏🥰😘

Born seventy one and gentlemen thruout❤😂

Both sampras and Roger Federer r great persons

Taking notes Nick? Thought not don't worry

Ironic that Pete retrained young to get a one-handed backhand, due to advice.That probably cost him more slams and maybe the French Open, but on the other hand, it made him the first incredibly elegant tennis player, where everything looked like it was poetry in motion.Roger Federer, carried this even further, and I say the same with him, that it probably cost him more grand slams as a two-handed backhand is superior, on balance, it gives you far more control, which is on balance, better than the reach advantage you get with one hand.The only exception to this is Stan, who is probably the strongest tennis player to ever live, in terms of upper body, and can hit a harder and well controlled, one-handed backhand, more than any two-handed in history

Sampras was a class act, through and through,on and off the court.He carried himself with almost unmatched grace and competitive spirit & set up a bar for players like Federer,Nadal and Djokovic. They actually saw those 14 slams as the guide and eventually ended up competing against one another. Sampras's serve stays at the top as the most beautiful stroke in the history of the game. What a great memory watching him lift 2000 Wimbledon in front of his parents.

Can we talk about how beautiful Bridget is!

He is facilitating

Quelle classe quelle humilité, c'est ça les légendes du sport comme Borg...

Don’t know about you folks but that was as alpha as it gets..

For me he remains the GOAT. Had there been a 22 grand slam target then...he would have been there.

I loved Pete Sampras so much that I hated Roger Federer... Haven't watched a live tennis match since US Open 2002.

Why do they always have the VIP guests sitting in the 🌞?

Pete was an artist on the court. Without Sampras there is no Federer, Nadal or Djokovic.

THE GREASTEST

I think McEnroe's speech was the best. Very long, but people didn't mind. I couldn't quite understand the almost 90% strongly emotional content of Pete's speech. I would expect that as he mentioned his late coach, but it seemed every single thing he mentioned broke him emotinally. It's pretty odd.

Funny and coincident how this happened only two years before Federer would break his slam tally record! Hah

Fuckin Ayyyy....REALLY ???? WHAT'S....WITH ...THE CONSTANT CRYING ? WHO DIED THIS TIME PETE 🤔

Well that was awkward

Worst crocodile tears. I bet he really was a jerk but I like how he carries himself on the court.

just go bald. its cool

Hey Pete....time to let the hair GO !!!! Pretty embarrassing 😳.....Andre did it 👍

What a blubbering mess. No wonder he has basically been a hermit since retirement
