In a scintillating return to interview form, Pete Sampras, still the world's undisputed best player, even in retirement, blasted the mediocre players in the top 10 confirming that this is indeed the weakest era of all time.
SI: Justin Gimelstob wrote a column for SI.com saying he thought you were playing today at a level as high as anyone except Federer.
Sampras: We were talking about the game and the sport. James Blake is No. 6 in the world and I wonder what it would be like to play him at this stage of my life if he gave me a few months to prepare. The serve is something that I still possess and I felt pretty hard to break.
SI: You are 35 -- not that old.
Sampras: It is true. Look at what guys are playing with today. It is crazy the amount of power a guy like Fernando Gonzalez can get from that racket. It has made mediocre players better and it has made the great players that much better.
Tell it like it is Pete! This weak era contains a whole lot of mediocre players who look better than they are to the ill-informed eye and the only two great players, Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal on clay who look close to invincible. The evidence is irrefutable.
