Sports Biographies Alpha Index Index by Sport Index of Women Sampras, Peter Tennis b. Aug. 12, 1971, Potomac, MD Other Resources Sampras seemingly came out of nowhere in 1990, when he became the youngest man ever to win the U. S. Open men's singles championship just 28 days after his nineteenth birthday. He wasn't even ranked in the world's top ten before his victory, but he finished the year ranked fifth. Known for his blistering, 130-mile-an-hour serve, Sampras began to stalk the world's top ranking in 1992, when he climbed to third behind Jim Courier and Stefan Edberg. He achieved it in 1993, serving 22 aces in a four-set victory over Courier in the Wimbledon singles final. Sampras dropped to second behind Courier during the month after Wimbledon, but he regained first place with an easy 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 win over France's Cedric Pioline to win his second U. S Open in September. Quiet and unassuming, Sampras calmly remarked to the press after his victory, "I just play my tennis, sign my autographs, and do what I have to do." In 1994, Sampras reached the finals of 11 tournaments, winning 10 of them, including his first Australian Open and second Wimbledon titles. The following year, he had only five victories, but they included his third straight Wimbledon championship and his third U. S. Open title. Sampras also led the U. S. to the Davis Cup championship, scoring two singles and a doubles victory in the 3-2 win over Russia.

It was puzzling to a man who had won the US Open at the age of 19. Although he had barely played on grass as a junior he thought his serve-volley game would be well-suited to the fast grass-courts of SW19. But things eventually came right, and in some style. In the 1993 final he beat the then world number one, Jim Courier, having already dismissed Andre Agassi and Boris Becker in previous rounds. From then on, of course, 'Pistol Pete' made Centre Court his own. He may not go for quite the pace of a Greg Rusedski or Mark Philippoussis on his serve, but its accuracy, disguise and above all consistency, make it far and away the best the game has ever seen.

See Online Courses Search Tennis Pete's Pistol Plugged Again by Clay Dateline: 05/29/00 Some consider Pete Sampras the greatest tennis player ever. Among those who disagree, by far the most cited point is his lack of a French Open title. That factor won't be changing this year. "Pistol" Pete lost in the first round today in Paris to Australia's Mark Philippoussis, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 8-6. On clay, serves slow down more when they hit the service box than on any other surface. For Pete Sampras, this reduces his single biggest advantage. He is solid all around, with among the best forehands and overheads in the game, but when he's in trouble, it's his serve that usually saves him. His first serves have arguably the best mix of power, placement, and consistency in tennis, and his second serves are often as aggressive as his first. Today on the clay though, up against Philippoussis, an even more powerful server, Pete couldn't get enough out of his serve, and perhaps because he was trying for too much, he double-faulted on three crucial break points. Many fans look forward to clay court tournaments because short, serve-dominated points are less common. Today the crowd was pretty quiet through most of the match, because, despite the clay, most of what they saw was a battle of serves. Even when the receiver returned a serve, the points were quick. With Sampras coming to net or going for power groundstrokes, plus Philippoussis going for even more powerful groundstrokes, the fascinating mini-dramas that evolve during long points that cover most of the court were rare. The biggest excitement in the match developed from its length and closeness, not from the individual points themselves.

See Online Courses Search Tennis Deep Satisfaction for Pete and Venus Dateline: 07/09/00 Pete Sampras defeated Patrick Rafter Sunday 6-7 (12-10), 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, 6-2 to win his seventh Wimbledon and a record 13th Grand Slam singles title. He and Roy Emerson had shared the previous record at 12. Sampras's other six Grand Slam titles consist of four US Opens and two Australian Opens. As expected, Sampras's serve was the biggest weapon carrying him to victory. Rafter had only two break opportunites in the entire match, neither of which he could convert. In the first two sets, neither player was broken, and both tie-breaks came down to a net difference of just one mini-break (losing one point while serving). Patrick was up 4-1 in the second set tie-break, but showed what could have been some nerves as he let Pete back in to win the set. Sampras was able to break Rafter in the following two sets. Pete's return of serve, while not among the very best, is better than Patrick's, and his serve is widely considered to be the best overall in tennis. Sampras hits most first serves in the 120s to low 130s, which is plenty fast, even if not quite as hard as Philippoussis's or Rusedski's. He also places the serve extremely well and backs it up with a second serve only slightly less aggressive than the first.

59. ESPN.com: Sampras Competes Against Best -- Ever pete sampras isn t playing for today; he s competing for history. He is athrowback to the days when gentleman played the sport of tennis. http://espn.go.com/sportscentury/features/00016453.html

More on Sampras Sampras competes against best ever By Larry Schwartz Special to ESPN.com His opponents aren't Agassi, Rafter and Rios. They are Laver, Rosewall and Emerson. Pete Sampras isn't playing for today; he's competing for history. Pete Sampras needs to win on the clay of the French Open to be considered the best ever. When he won his sixth Wimbledon championship in 1999, it gave him 12 Grand Slam singles titles, tying Roy Emerson ior most majors all time. Though he had earned more than $35 million in ATP Tour earnings going into 1999, it is Grand Slams that consume him. The easy-going, hard-hitting Sampras would trade a dozen of his 55 Tour victories (through 1998) for one French Open or another Australian. Let others play for money; he's playing for majors. "I measure my year on how I do at the majors and the more that I have won over the years, the more I want to win," Sampras said. "I don't look at myself as a historical icon, but the reality of it is, yeah, I am playing for history now." Sampras, 27, is not the indifferent jock he pretends to be. While he gives the impression that he doesn't play with a passion, he deeply wants to be remembered as the best ever. "I don't think it's arrogant," Sampras said. "I'm not ashamed that I feel that I can actually do it."
