This was the worse year of PETE's career and he was clearly having an off day against a genius playing genius tennis, but he still came up with insane serves and volleys that made this match incredibly close. The 136 mph serve PETE hit in a tiebreaker down 2 sets to 1 followed a few points later by the on-the-rise, behind-his-back perfect-drop-shot volley Pete hit to win the 4th set was insane.

Sampras hit a 121 mph second serve at 5-5 in the tiebreaker. Those are the kinds of serves that made him so absurdly good. This match was a true changing of the guard, perhaps more in retrospect, but Sampras was still playing extremely well at this stage.

I watched Sampras through the years, he grew on me as he defeated favorites I never thought would lose. He became a favorite! I watched matches where Sampras played like a finely tuned robot, possessing unhuman skills that I've never seen matched. While he had problems with Roger, my favorite player now, there were times when Sampras was what seemed, truly artificial inteligence.
