"If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me"

- Pete Sampras

About this Quote

In this quote, tennis legend Pete Sampras is expressing his ideas on the frequency of the Davis Cup, a global men's group tennis competition. He specifies that if the Davis Cup was held less often, maybe when every two years rather of each year, he would be more likely to get involved. Nevertheless, he feels that the present format, with matches being held every year, is too demanding and involves excessive tennis for him. This might be due to the physical and psychological toll that playing in the Davis Cup takes on gamers, as well as the time dedication needed. Sampras' words highlight the importance of discovering a balance between competition and rest in the world of professional sports.
