interesting, I had always assumed that Sampras fans transitioned to Federer, and Agassi fans went over to Nadal. you've got the master server, all court 1hbh with the reserved personality and clothing, versus the punishing returner/baseliner 2hbh with the rockstar/pirate outfit and fiery court persona.
I think it'll be a long time before we see two Americans battling it out at the top like those guys. much more likely we'll have a 10+ year Canadian rivalry for tennis supremacy (both on mens and womens side)
