That's true. I was surprised when I saw his statistics at the French Open throughout his career; I initially thought Sampras never entered the tournament at Roland Garros, perhaps because it is less than a month removed from Wimbledon, and it is taxing beyond belief playing on clay, but as I researched and recalled it more, I now know if Sampras ever had a weak point, it was red ground.
