Jon made a really good point when he said Sampras couldn't beat anyone on clay while there was only one player Roger has trouble with.

I have no complaints whatsoever with TCs #1. And Graf the #1 woman. No problem at all.

Quickly forgetting that Sampras made the Sf at Paris, won Rome, and in 1995 won the Davis Cup basically by himself, in Moscow, on a clay court that was so watered down by the Russians the ITF fined them for it.
Nobody is saying Sampras was always looking forward to RG. But to say that he was totally inept on the stuff is not accurate either.
(BTW: he won more clay events than Agassi won grass events, and nobody ever says Andre could not play on grass).
