Congratulation Messages from Fans (Page 3 0f 6)

You've been my favorite for years because of the way you move. Recently I've come to appreciate your intelligence, never more in evidence than in your latest match. Poor Andre is still waiting for the first rally. Please keep us guessing.

Dear Pete
What a win - congratulations on winning the US Open and a 14th Grand Slam victory. Please come back to Wimbledon and reclaim the crown which is rightfully yours - Centre Court is your house Pete. We missed you this year, quite honestly it was not the same without you. In fact it was very dull compared to previous years!
Best wishes to you, Bridgette and the little baby who is due later this year.

Cathy
England

What a dilemma when your tennis favourite Pete Sampras battles your fellow countryman Sjeng Schalken in the US Open semi finals: who do you hope will win? One thing I do know: only you, Pete, could have given us such memorable finals. Let's hope you will play some more. For Wimbledon's grass will never look so green when you're not there. All happiness to you and your family.

Pete is simply the best. I watch the tennis tournaments only until Pete and Andre are in it. Once, they are out, its pointless to watch it. This US Open was a dream matchup...couldnt be better...couldnt ask for more than the best player ever in tennis...Pistol Pete Sampras! Please dont hang up your shoes!

You've really become apart of my family...just thanks for all the wonderful memories. God Bless you and always stay the way you are.

Thanks for being a step and a half slower .... otherwise we couldn't have admired that magical half volley on 3-4 break point Agassi. Please keep going even if you are ten and a half steps slower as tennis without is senseless.

Thanks a lot Pete for letting us watch that flawless tennis of yours again, those supersonic serves followed by velvety volleys, and show the world that the rest of the tennis tour can't even kiss your feet when you hit form. I saw and felt it after the Roddick match, that you were in that zone again and on to something great. The odds didn't favour you but they helped me who believed in you make some nice money, thanks. Just play one more year and keep defying the odds over and over again at the slams. Lleyton Hewitt eat your heart out.

Marien Langbroek

Doing what you love in life and getting paid for it is a blessing - being one of the best means you have been blessed with great talent and worked hard over the years to make it count. Well done. Challenges are great in life-take the time to pat yourself on the back and enjoy the success. Best of luck with the coming year. One day I will may lucky enough to interview you and congratulate you in person.
