Full Match Video: Sampras vs. Agassi, 2001

Arthur Kapetanakis | March 29, 2020


With the current suspension of the ATP and WTA Tours, we are opening up our US Open vault to bring you full match videos of classic encounters through the years in New York. 

 

Watch on Youtube: Pete Sampras vs. Andre Agassi, 2001 US Open men's singles quarterfinals

 

The two U.S. tennis legends faced off 34 times in their careers, with Sampras finishing with a 20-14 edge in a rivalry that spanned 13 years. They met four times at the US Open, with Sampras sweeping their New York bouts.

 

Fittingly, three of those four US Open meetings came in the championship match. But the 2001 quarterfinal has best stood the test of time, it's quality and drama every bit deserving of a final itself.

 

Neither Sampras, 30, nor Agassi, 31, dropped serve once in Arthur Ashe Stadium, with each set being decided by a tiebreak, one more riveting than the last.

 

"Two great players playing great at the same time," Sampras would tell the The New York Times, looking back years later. "That doesn't often happen."

 

The classic match, alongside many others, is available to stream on the USTA's YouTube channel.
