Pete Sampras (1971) retired American tennis player former World No. 1. During his 14-year tour career, he won 14 Grand Slam singles titles became recognized as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Especially known for having the best &quot;running forehand&quot; of all time. He was able to catch attacks wide to his forehand using his speed hitting a forehand shot on the run.~ My favorite mens tennis player; loved his great game, gentlemanly style and his appropriate tennis whites.
