PETE Sampras isn't worried.
He thinks the Wimbledon men's singles record he shares with Roger Federer is safe for the foreseeable future.
"I don't know if someone in the next 10 years will be able to win five or six Wimbledons," he said on Monday ahead of his induction into the Rogers Cup Hall of Fame in Toronto.
Sampras and Federer have both won seven singles titles at the All England Club. Scotland's Andy Murray won his first Wimbledon this month.
"This was Andy's time. It was Andy's event to go and get and he did it," Sampras said.
But he doesn't see anyone being able to conquer Wimbledon's grass courts the way he and Federer did.
"Roger and myself, our game on grass was so ... dominant," Sampras said. "I don't think that dominant game is out there that's going to win it seven times. But I could be wrong."
