poor pete....

[danielson]

just heard he lost 7-6 6-1 6-1....damn thats gotta hurt

didnt see the match ought to be fun

 

[PHATchik]

Definitely painful

 

[danielson]

hurts more that he was beaten by a young upstart too..... wonder if he'll retire if he crashes out of another grandslam

 

[PHATchik]

Who beat him? I hadn't heard about it until I read your thread.

leyton hewitt

i dont like him. no idea why...i just dont

 

[PHATchik]

I don't like it when people mess with Pete.

 

[danielson]

a fan i take it....

psychologically its gotta hurt after wimbledon

but to liose klike that in a grand slam final....thats an almighty bitch slap

im wondering if he'll retire or not ...hope not, he should realise the fact he made it to the final is worth something

 

[Hannibal]

Anyone that watched that knows that Pete just forgot to show up...especially after the first set...YIKES!!

 

[PHATchik]

Oh yeah, most definitely a slap in the face. And yes, I am a fan.

I don't know...maybe in a few days, he will look at it and say, "Hell yeah, I made it to the finals. That counts for something." I hope so anyway. Pete retiring? Not a pleasant thought.

 

[Hannibal]

As much as I like Rafter...the thought of Pete retiring is not a pleasant one. When he and Andre leave...there will be no one to replace them. I think Pete know he has some great tennis left in him...what a sport when you are over the hill at 25

Sad, isn't it?

Sampras and Hewitt

Yeah sad, Pete is a grascious in defeat. He in my opinion is the most talented player ever seen.

Here in Australia, Leyton Hewiit is not the most popular tennis player either. From what I understand Pete Sampras has a lot of difficuly playing Leyton for some reason. He has beaten Pete in 2 of their last 3 encounters.
