      Lmao wtf?! Sampras wasn't in his prime back in 1999-2002! Lol He was close to retirement...was forced out of top-10 and the only two courts he was still competitive on are at the Eimbledon and the US Open...lol Prime Sampras my ass...Now Federer on another hand...yes...beating Federer back then was impressive indeed i'll give him that! Especially at grand slams...

      He hit 171km (106 mph) on his second serve, he wasn't really warmed up. I'm pretty sure he could reach 200 km (124 mph) or very close to it if he got nice and warmed up.

    He used to average 1st serves in the 210km - 220km range, i think he was just scared of breaking the screen and didn't want to pull a muscle, 171km for him is like a second serve

    • @DurpenHeimer

    • @razorback9926

      Not scared, he just wasn't warmed up. No one wants to hurt himself serving hard with no warmup. I bet if he warmed up good, he could hit 120mph even in that suit.
