Federer is a legend: Sampras

A collection of quotes about Roger Federer, who won his 15th grand slam singles title at Wimbledon on Sunday, taking him past the previous record of 14 he shared with Pete Sampras.

''The guy's a legend and now he's an icon. He's got 15 majors, that's a lot of majors, that's a lot of work. He's a credit to the game.'' -- Pete Sampras.

''The critics say (Rod) Laver, and (Rafael) Nadal beat him a few times in majors, but he's won all the majors, he's going to win a few more here, so in my book he is (the greatest).'' -- Sampras.
