Pistol Pete. Tennis was raw, faster.

Pistol Pete. The Michael Jordan of Tennis, was different back then—faster, raw, untouchable. That overhead smash? A true wonder of the world. Sampras didn’t just play the game, he owned it.

Pete Sampras, known as “Pistol Pete” for his lightning-fast serve and fearless aggression, dominated the 1990s with a calm intensity that left legends in his wake. He won 14 Grand Slam singles titles—a record at the time of his retirement—including 7 Wimbledons, 5 US Opens, and 2 Australian Opens.

Sampras held the world No. 1 ranking for 286 weeks, finishing six consecutive years (1993–1998) as year-end No. 1—a record that stood unmatched for over a decade. His serve-and-volley style, clutch play under pressure, and iconic overhead smash made him a force on any surface, but especially on the grass of Wimbledon, where he reigned supreme. #sampras #tennis #serve #michaeljordan #jordan
