4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyable Read on One of ' GreatsBy rodboomboomBranham does a great job showing the excellence of Pete's game and personality. Enough of this stuff that he doesn't have what it takes. The contrast between him and others who have the glitter show who has the endurance at the top.Sampras is too full of character to withstand the beratement he receives from a press-gone-crazy world who rather likes flash and glitter and controversy and rebellious character. Pete is solid, off both sides of the groundies and of course the serve and volley.What an outstanding young person whom other hopeful racket swinging youth can emulate --- the guy isn't about show but go. Especially his love of the Rocket and the inheritance those guys gave and their sacrifice is neat. I grew up with the Chuck McKinley/Dennis Ralston era.The book traces his record in the Majors, with the underlying background to the big matches and Pete's life. Influenced greatly by his first coach, a pediatrician. Later, with one whom he truly bonded was taken suddenly. What endurance and character.This guy deserves his high spot in tennis annals. Great read. Thanks Branham.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. the greatest player of the nineties and greatest championBy SASPete has always been our hero.

On page 24 It was claimed Sampras at the 1993 US Open, on championship Sunday, got Cedric Pioline, a low-ranking, non- seeded Frenchman who was in his first Slam final which is actually INCORRECT.

On page 107 It was claimed was playing some of his best tennis, in years, in January 1995 ahead of his Australian Open quarter-final against Sampras, with a tournament title and an eight-match victory streak which is actually INCORRECT.

On page 159 It was claimed in 1996, was a threat to Sampras, holding a 2-1 head to head edge, including winning there 1993 semi-final which is actually INCORRECT.
