The duo played against each other 34 times, with Sampras leading 20-14. In a with SPIEGEL, Agassi spoke about the significance of his rivalry with Sampras. He mentioned that he would have learned less and won more without facing the 14-time Major winner. "There is a lot of respect. I believe that, without Pete, I would have won more and learned less," Andre Agassi said. "We were all driven. And, of course, there is something strange about tennis: Egocentric and narcissistic behavior can win; torture and the isolation of players may lead you to the top. Pete and I shared our life and our fate; we were together all year long. But we were lonely. If there was not the net separating us, there was a wall," he added. He also revealed that he never wanted to play tennis and the sport was forced on him while his wife, the legendary Steffi Graf, chose to play it."There is a very significant difference between us: Stefanie wanted to play tennis, it was her decision; and I did not, but I had to. For me it was the wrong life; it was not mine," Agassi said. Poll : Who will win the 2022 ATP finals?
