Astonishing ? #RolandGarros https://t.co/waZNDtgP3i In a recent interview with Argentine daily newspaper LA NACION, the 14-time Grand Slam winner talked at length about his introverted personality. Comparing tennis players from different eras, he asserted that if he played now, he would be more "social" and "outgoing" like Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. "You look at Roger, Rafa and Novak today and they are much more social and outgoing than me, and maybe it's through social media and where we are in society," Pete Sampras said. "Maybe, if I were playing now, I would be more like these guys. It's just a different mindset. In my generation everyone was a little more separated, but now Roger has Rafa's phone number and everyone texts each other and has Instagram." Sampras went on to state that unlike Roger Federer, who is usually the soul of the party, he himself is a "lone wolf" who draws energy from solitude. "Knowing Roger a little bit, I guess he can be the soul of the party in the locker room," Sampras said. "I was more in the corner, away from everyone, and I loved the last weekend of Wimbledon, when nobody was in the dressing room. I am a lone wolf. I get energy by being alone. I like to be alone. That's how I'm connected and how it's always been."
