Jun Binas - Edmonton英國艾德蒙頓 "I will never forget Pete crying in Melbourne during his match against Jim Courier. I will never forget him getting sick on court during the quarterfinals of the US Open, and after that, serving an ace. His tennis was just poetry. He is the best-ever tennis player. Thank you for over 10 years of unbelievable tennis and a lot of emotions during your battles. I became a real tennis fan because of you, and I thank you for that!!! 我將永遠不會忘記Pete在Melbourne與Courier比賽時哭泣(譯注：95澳網)。我將永難忘懷 他在美網八強時打到脫水嘔吐(96美網)，然後發出一記ACE.他的網球生涯如同詩一般。他 是史上最佳球員。謝謝你這10多年來許多令人驚訝的網球比賽，及在你的奮鬥中充滿了情 感 。因為你我變成一個真正的網球迷，我真的感謝你！！！ Marek (Poland)波蘭 "I first watched you play in Wimbledon 10 years ago, when I was 8 years old, and I had never seen someone who played consistently at the top of his game. My dad and I would sit in front of the TV on Saturdays and Sundays and cheer for Pete! Nine years later, my dad and I watched you defeat Andre in the last US Open. What a way to end a career, on top, as usual." 我第一次看到你的比賽，是在10年前的溫布頓，當時我才8歲，而且之前從未從頭到 尾 地看過一位選手的完整比賽。在星期六日，我跟我爹地坐在電視機前為Pete加油！九年 過去了，我和我爹地看著你在最後一次的美網打敗Andre.多麼不可思議的網球生涯的結 束，如同往常一樣，處在頂點。 Tiffany Sy, 18, Silver Spring Maryland馬里蘭州 "Congrats Pete on an awesome career. Can I borrow your serve now that you've retired??? !!! You were blessed with a lot of talent and worked hard to make the most of it." 恭喜Pete擁有一個令人敬畏的職業生涯。在你退休後的現在，我可以跟你借你的發球嗎 ???!!!你擁有許多的天賦，而且你努力地將它發揮到極致。 Bill Kennedy "Pete was my mentor since I was in high school. I look at him as my hero. He always gave me hope to compete when I was in my senior year and I was the captain of our tennis team. I imagined myself as Pete competing." Pete是我的引導者，自從我上了高中後。我將他視為我的英雄。他總是給予我競賽的信心 與希望，現在我是我們網球校隊的隊長。當我在比賽時，我總是想像自己是Pete。 "Every time I watched you play, I got chills. You possesed a serve that will never be duplicated and the grace for which you displayed is unmatched. Your matches against Agassi were a true gift to tennis. I am happy that I can tell my kids I got to watch the great "Pistol Pete Sampras" play tennis" 每一次我觀看你的比賽，我總是感到寒顫。你擁有永遠無法複製的發球動作，你所展現出 來的優雅是無法匹敵的。你與Agassi的許多比賽對於網壇來說，是一個真正的禮物。我會 告訴我的孩子們，我看過最偉大的網球選手"快槍俠Pete Samprsas"的比賽。 John M Hutter Long Island, NY紐約 "I have watched and followed Pete's illustrious career through all the years. I have at least 20 videotapes of his matches. He is my ideal because he always showed grace, athletism, finesse and complete class. He is definitely the best player in history for his dedication, longevity, style, person and unmatched results. I wish him and his family the best and I hope we will continue to hear about him and may be see him in the other circuit. Good show Pete." 這些年來我觀看並追隨Pete顯赫明亮的職業生涯。我擁有至少20捲他的比賽錄影帶。他 是我的模範與理想，因為他總是那麼優雅，有運動家風度，有技巧策略，和古典的競賽 。他肯定是史上最佳球員，以他的對網壇的奉獻，長久的職業壽命，風格，所扮演的角 色和無與倫比的成果。向他與他的家人致上我最深的祝福，而且我希望我們將可以繼續 聽到有關於他的消息 ，也可以看到他在其他場合出現，展現出Pete的美好。 Sam Abdou "Tennis will never be the same without you Pete. No words can describe your true value to our sport and what you have achieved for it. I wish you the best of luck for the future, you deserve every last ounce of it. " 網壇不會再有像你這樣的選手了，Pete.沒有文字可以形容你真正的價值，對於體壇與你 達成的成就。我祝福你有個美好的未來，你是值得的。 Matt O`Donnell --
