[PLEASE HELP] Current Djocavic vs Prime Sampras?

[RL_GMA]

Sampras, but it would be a good match

[Southpaw Stinger]

Sampras definitely on grass. Possibly on hard too. Novak on Clay.

Sampras probably the best grass courter of all time.

my prediction:
clay: djok wins 3 - 0set,
hard: djok wins 3 - 1
grass: djok wins 3 - 2

Djok is not amazing on grass, who has he beaten apart from Nadal once? His serve is decent but noway near Sampras' which is really really important on grass. Forehand to forehand if you compare them then Sampras wins this again, his forehand, netplay and serve were awesome parts of his game. His forehand wasn't suited to clay though because it didn't have much spin on it. Djok has a much better backhand though in terms of it being a rally shot but when it comes to slice and volleying with it he is very average in comparison to Pistol Pete.

Do people actually think Djok would be where he is at if we had a prime 2006 Federer on the court right now? He is lucky Federer is past his best and there are no other ATGs playing in his era apart from an old Federer and Nadal who is immense on clay but very beatable everywhere else.

Sampras needs to do a 'y'all must've forgot' type music video.

in his prime, agassi had one of the best return and baseline games the sport has ever seen.

not a problem for pete.


there goes the argument for djokovic.
