Pete Sampras was a better player than Andre Agassi because he had a 20-14 record against him. Who had the better career? I believe it would be Agassi because he has all four of the grand slam titles plus an Olympic Gold medal in singles. Pete is missing the French and the Olympic Gold medal.
Rafael Nadal is a better player than Roger Federer because he currently has a 17-8 record against him as of September 2010. Who has the better career as of September 2010? To me this is tougher than the Agassi – Sampras comparison because both Federer and Nadal have won all four grand slams and each have an Olympic Gold with Nadal winning the singles and Federer winning the doubles. At this point in their career I would have to go with Federer having the best career.
Darryl’s Career Rankings would be:
1.Roger Federer (16 majors, career grand slam, Olympic Gold Doubles)
2.Rafael Nadel (10 majors, career grand slam, Olympic Gold Singles, Davis Cup Champion)
3.Andre Agassi (8 majors, career grand slam, Olympic Gold Singles, Davis Cup Champion)
4.Peter Sampras (14 majors, Davis Cup Champion)
