Pete Sampras Thinks Federer Could Knock Record Out of the Park

As mentioned here, retired tennis star Pete Sampras currently holds the record with 14 Grand Slam titles. On Saturday, January 31st, Roger Federer has the chance to tie that record. If Federer wins the 2009 Australian Open final, that will give him his 14 titles.
Sampras thinks that not only will Federer tie his record, but he’ll break it with as many as 18 or 19 titles.
“I really thought that 14 would be a number that would be very tough to tie and break,” Sampras tells the AP, “but Roger just came along and dominated the game much more than I ever did.”
Can you imagine 18 or 19 Grand Slam titles? That would be phenomenal! If anyone can do it, I believe it’s Roger Federer.
