Sampras: Henman needs luck at Wimbledon
Pete Sampras believes Tim Henman is still capable of winning Wimbledon. But
the seven-times SW19 champion reckons the 30-year-old Briton needs a bit of
luck. "He needs the right players to lose; his matches to be scheduled at the
right time and needs to shut out the voice he doesn't need to hear."
Sampras: "Federer can match my dominance"
Sampras, who won 14 major championship titles, told The Times of London on
Saturday, "You need a strong belief, sure.”
“Is Tim the best player in the world? No. Is he a truly great player? No.
But he is an extremely talented player and if things fall into place it can
happen.
“He needs the right players to lose, he needs to be scheduled at the right
time, he needs to shut out the voices he doesn't need to hear. I had the
single-minded focus that he is still trying to find.”
SAMPRAS AND CENTRE COURT'S ROOF
Having retired in 2003 at a special U.S. Open ceremony, the 33-year-old is
saddened to hear about Wimbledon's plans to build a roof over Centre Court
for the 2008 championships.
“I don't like it,” he said.
“I can see how it makes sense business-wise, for the fans, for television.
It is difficult playing Wimbledon.
"I remember once starting on Monday and not playing until Friday and it made
you apprehensive in a special way. But there's no other place like it.
"It had a profound effect on me, which made it bigger than tennis in my mind.
I really miss Wimbledon. I miss everything about it. As a shy, introverted
person, it was the one place I could really show off.”
