Pete Sampras Pete Sampras was the dominant force in 1990s men’s tennis, known for his powerful serve, precise volleys, and calm demeanor under pressure. He won 14 Grand Slam titles, a record at the time of his retirement, including seven Wimbledon championships—the most in the Open Era until Federer surpassed him. Sampras held the world No. 1 ranking for 286 weeks and won 64 career titles. His aggressive serve-and-volley game was perfectly suited for grass and fast courts. He claimed five US Open titles and two Australian Opens. Sampras retired in 2002 after winning the US Open, ending his career on a high note. Known for his professionalism and quiet confidence, he avoided the spotlight but delivered consistently on the biggest stages. Sampras set the standard for excellence in the pre-Djokovic-Nadal-Federer era.
