In addition, he helped the United States win one World Team Cup (1993) and he also assisted the United States in winning the Davis Cup twice. He's the former world king, Pete. Sampras
In 1990, Sampras won his first ATP title, and in the same year, Sampras defeated rival Andre Agassi at the U.S. Open at the age of 19 years and 28 days, becoming the youngest men's singles champion in the history of the U.S. Open.
After that, Sampras was out of control. He has won numerous championship trophies in four Grand Slam tournaments. In 1999, it reached the final in all five competitions and eventually won all of them, including the sixth victory at Wimbledon, drawing the record of 12 Grand Slam titles. In 2000, Sampras won the Wimbledon tournament again, a record 13th Grand Slam tournament, becoming another tennis player after Borg who won at least one Grand Slam title every year for 8 consecutive years, and the only player to win at least one Grand Slam title every year from 1990 to 2000.

In 2002, he announced that he would retire after the US Open and expressed his hope to win the championship, but he got his wish and defeated his friend Agassi in the final with a 3-1 (rounds: 6-3, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4) to win the championship, ending his 15-year career.
Sampras is revered as the King of the World, the eternal king of Wimbledon. Best grass player ever. 14 Grand Slam winners, retired men with a Grand Slam title. But Sampras's only regret is that he did not win a French Open Grand Slam and did not become a member of the Grand Slam club. He has the best second serve in the world. And is the player who uses the service net technology the most perfectly, and the bottom line technology is also very solid. One-handed backhand can be written into textbooks, and from a technical point of view, it is a person who comes out of tennis technology textbooks.
In 2003, Sampras did not compete in any professional tournaments and finally announced his decision to retire on the opening day of the U.S. Open, the U.S. Open, where he won his first Grand Slam singles title.
