Re: Federer takes 2 of 3 matches from Sampras
If by "serious" you mean that both players are trying to win, then yes I think the matches are serious. I can't imagine Federer intentionally tanking a match, period. Sampras winning a best of three certainly doesn't prove that he's better than Federer overall, but it does show that if he's serving well he still has a chance against anyone on a fast surface. That to me is impressive for Sampras. It won't happen, but I think if this year Sampras decided to train for a comeback at Wimbledon, nobody would look forward to seeing him in their section of the draw.
