The American played with an 85 inch head through his career and when he used a larger frame during his retirement, he said the racquet felt like cheating.
Now that Roger Federer has switched to a larger racquet at the end of his career, Sampras says, “I don’t know where his head’s at, whether he’s going to stick with it.
I wish I would have tried it, at least a little bit on the clay, when I was playing. It would have helped me a little bit.”
Sampras also said in an interview that he believes the seven Wimbledon singles record he shares with Federer will not be broken for a while.
“Roger and myself, our game on grass was so … dominant. I think Murray can win some more and Djokovic, but I don’t think that dominant game is out there that’s going to win it seven times.” – Tennis World
