Becker wants more of Pete
- petepage[May 18, 2003 Telegraph, Calcutta] Boris Becker hopes that Pete Sampras・ decision to miss this year・s French Open and Wimbledon championships does not mark the end of his illustrious career. :You have to respect his decision. But I sincerely hope we see him one more time at the US Open. I don・t know if this is it, I hope not,; the six-time Grand Slam winner said at the Masters Series event in Hamburg on Friday. :I haven・t spoken to him so I don・t know what・s on his mind. It・s probably the most difficult decision of his life.;
Sampras has not played a match since winning his 14th career Grand Slam by beating Andre Agassi at the 2002 US Open but Becker, who lost to Sampras in the 1995 Wimbledon final, believes it will be hard for him to walk away. :It took me a while to call it quits and I think anybody who has won a Grand Slam or two, in his case 14, it・s something we have been doing all our lives so we don・t have the game plan for what is going to happen after. You need time to finally make up your mind,; he said.
