Sampras won't take up coaching

Tennis great Pete Sampras on Friday said he was not interested in joining the clamor of legends returning to the game as high-profile coaches.

He also lamented the lost art of serve and volley and the one-dimensional nature of the modern game, which he likened to players "throwing rocks" at each other.

The American 14-time Grand Slam champion, who is in Melbourne to present the trophy to the men's winner in Sunday's Australian Open final, said coaching is not for him.
