Is this the greatest US Open match ever? | Pete Sampras vs Andre Agassi | US Open 2001 Quarterfinal

The best match in the history of tennis.

Yes.. close second would be Henin-Venus '07

Pete Sampras was awesome. Also had most hairy chest ever

Agassi - one of the best fighters boxing never had.

About a week later the 9/11 attacks... so weird how this game seems to be much older than the attacks, at least to me.

If someone like Andre Agassi loses after committing only 17 unforced errors in 48 games and four tie breaks, you know you he must have lost to a legend.

TOP 10 greatest match ever ! Easy !

who else would love to see prime sampras vs. prime federer???

De beaux souvenirs.

wish they would show the points between shots

This was less than a month before 9/11 in nyc 😔

Wow 2 days before 9/11.

107 mph kicker out wide on the duece court? First 2 min of match. Sorry pat. Kickers don't keep sliding out of the court on the duece side for a right hander. Mabey he meant to say slider.

What is that noise?

Constantly complaining about the game too fast and want to watch baseline ralies totally destroyed Tennis. So much so that the so called GOAT cannot volley or hit a simple smash. Shame really.

For US Open matches this one is up there, but I put the Federer vs Del Potro final and the Nadal vs Medvedev final ahead of this just because it went 5 sets. Had that Sampras and Agassi match went to set 5 it would have been the best US Open match ever.

The matches between them were always epic, it did not matter what round they met, they gave the best of this beautiful sport.

Every time I hit a running forehand winner on defense I think if Sampras

Classic tennis match, two legends

WHERE IS THE NUMBER OF THE MATCH? What a mess!!!!

Does anyone know the name of the british commentator? He used to commentate a bunch in the early 2000's but seems to have disappeared.

Today’s game players like Nadal and Medvedev are standing way back to receive serve, near the line judges , to neutralize the big serve. With advanced rackets they can return from that far back.

Why this would be considered the greatest US Open match ever is beyond me? It is not even the best meeting between the two.

King sampras 👍❤️❤️

not even in the top 100

Partita straordinaria... Agassi Sampras 👏👏

love Agassi...he and BB inspired me to play Tennis..love his Style, no BS hard hitting Ground strokes and phenomenal foorwork. All the respect to Sampras...what Legends...this match is pure Art of Tennis...no Drama or whining..just going for it hard💪💪👍👍

Those times.. when the strings were compulsively adjusted every point, the ballboys throwing balls trought air, giving the towel to the player and after reciving it back they let it laying in the floor. Sampras backhand is beatiful, and he loved going to the net, elegant and powerfull. Agassi is frenetic in all of his movements, at some moments it looks like the video is in a higher speed, thats actitud took him to have a very agresive and speedy kind of playing. Those were the days my friend.

la difference ? sampras est droitier ! TANNER etait gaucher !!!

modele et mouvement de service chez " pistol pete " comme un certain : roscoe " la foudre " tanner !

A great match goes 5 sets...

Hahaha.. Compared to today's players, this is ridiculous.

None of these two would stay on their feet after just one set against Novak, Nadal, etc..

Certainly the most traumatic. While that match happened I was flying from Europe to New York. I was hoping to attend on Super saturday and see Andre. I landed only to find out that despite not losing a serve, Andre lost.

: - )

By far the greatest match ever no histrionics fist pumping no premadonours an absolute honour and respect for the game the greatest example of how sports should be played for any aspiring athlete

It will never get old ❤

Pete played amazing. Bravo❣️

No grunting? I'm here for it!

For me watching this match and Pistol Pete being my idol and sports hero this will be the greatest match I ever saw in my lifetime ; but in tennis it all depends on who your favorite player is or was and that match will be your fav !!

Pete is total class and talent.

no

"Sampras has never lost a night match at the US Open, the only man to have that record" - actually he shares that record with me

I always loved Pete pistol, respected very much Andre, so that was some class tennis. One would wish they both still playing major tournaments.

Si lo es, y el mas emocionante fue Agassi Vs Blake

Sampras made tennis so boring for years. Thank God serve/volley is dead and gone.

I enjoyed watching tennis since 1974 to today. I must say this Edberg, Becker, Sampras was the most boring era of tennis, despite how great these guys were. The match basically a serve and 1 or 2 strokes and the point was over. I enjoyed seeing Connors, Borg and McEnroe, then lost interest in the era of Becker, Edberg, Sampras. Then I resumed watching the game when Federer, Nadal and Djokovic made the scene, tennis became interesting again.
