Greats salute flawless Federer
Pete Sampras hailed Roger Federer as the greatest player of all time on Sunday after the Swiss superstar surpassed his Grand Slam record with a sixth Wimbledon title.
“In my book, he’s the greatest of all time. He has his critics and people point to Rafael Nadal beating him, but for me he’s the greatest. He is a legend and an icon,” said Sampras, who won seven Wimbledon titles in his career.
“He is a great champion and a good guy. He’s very humble, which I like,” Sampras added.
Sampras predicted that Federer, who is still only 27, can go on and set more Grand Slam records.
