Well.. it has been discussed on these boards, and more a case of "handbags at sunrise" on the beeb board!! roflmao
I thought that it provided some good insight into the men's game..
Of course it gave us more about Sampras.. but also some really interesting stuff about Agassi and their rivalry..
Also the stuff about baseline playing, Fed, Rafa.. always nice to find an article that just seems to be a champ talking freely about tennis, telling it just how he sees it..

Yes it was very insightful .
Interesting reading. It's also a little sad, because it is hard to imagine whether Sampras will ever find anything substantial to fill the hole. I guess this is the sad lot of most successful people in sport. There are occasional exceptions, Lance Armstrong being the most remarkable. Sampras has a rather unenviable life ahead of him, I think.
