About Sampras 關(guān)于桑普拉斯
Petros "Pete" Sampras is a retired American tennis player and former World No. 1. During his 15-year tour career, he won 14 Grand Slam singles titles, which at the time of his retirement was the most that any male player had achieved. He was surpassed by Roger Federer in 2009.
Sampras debuted on the professional tour in 1988 and played his last top-level tournament in 2002 when he won the US Open, defeating rival Andre Agassi in the final. He was the year-end World No. 1 for six consecutive years (1993-1998), a record for the open era. His seven Wimbledon singles championships is a record shared with William Renshaw. He spent 286 weeks at number 1, the most of any player. His five US Open singles titles is an open-era record shared with former World No. 1 players Jimmy Connors and Federer. He won five ATP World Tour Finals a record shared with Ivan Lendl and Federer. Sampras is the last American male to win Wimbledon (2000) and ATP World Tour Finals (1999). He is arguably the greatest tennis players of all time.
皮特·桑普拉斯是一代世界球王,溫布爾頓永遠(yuǎn)的國(guó)王。有史以來最好的草地球員。14個(gè)大滿貫得主。很多次,桑普拉斯提到,自己的偶像是縱橫PGA多年的高爾夫名將尼古拉斯,事實(shí)上,無(wú)論是專業(yè)人士還是忠實(shí)球迷,都把他看作網(wǎng)壇的尼古拉斯。甚至,因?yàn)闀r(shí)代的關(guān)系,桑普拉斯在全球范圍的知名度,更在其偶像之上。
