Enjoyable Read on One of Tennis' 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. Pete Sampras the greatest player of the nineties and greatest championBy SASPete has always been our hero.

In depth look at the talent and heart of a tennis legend but did notice a number of inaccuracies.By tennis maestroIn depth look at the talent and heart of a tennis legend but did notice a number of inaccuracies. On page 5 It was claimed a century before the teenage Sampras claimed the 1990 US Open title, Oliver Campbell, a New Yorker, was the youngest of U.S. champions at 19 years and five months which is actually INCORRECT. Campbell was 19 years and six months when he won the title in 1890. On page 6 It was claimed Sampras lost his Wimbledon crown to Richard Krajicek in the fourth round of the 1996 Championships which is actually INCORRECT. Krajicek defeated the American in the quarter-finals of the 1996 Championships. On page 19 It was claimed Sampras returned to the US Open in New York in 1992 confident of his chances, seeded fourth which is actually INCORRECT. The top four seeds were No.1 Courier, No.2 Edberg, No.3 Sampras, No.4 Chang. 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. Pioline was the tournaments No.15 seed. On page 84 It was claimed Sampras' edge over Yevgeny Kafelnikov, commenced with a monumental victory in the fourth round of the 1994 Australian Open which is actually INCORRECT. Sampras defeated the Russian in the second round of the 1994 Australian Open. On page 107 It was claimed Jim Courier 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. Courier was on a nine-match victory streak following his win at the 32-draw Adelaide tournament and four wins in Melbourne. On page 159 It was claimed in 1996, Sergi Bruguera was a threat to Sampras, holding a 2-1 head to head edge, including winning there 1993 French Open semi-final which is actually INCORRECT. Sampras was beaten in the quarter-finals at the 1993 French Open. On page 165 It was claimed coming into the 1996 French Open, Yevgeny Kafelnikov was ranked sixth in the world but seeded fifth with fifth-ranked Boris Becker out due to injury which is actually INCORRECT. Goran Ivanisevic was seeded No.5 at the 1996 French Open and Kafelnikov seeded No.6. On page 249 It was claimed at the 1996 US Open, Sampras first had to dismiss several no-names but took five sets to defeat Czechoslovakian Jiri Novak 6-1, 1-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 which is actually the INCORRECT scoreline. Sampras defeated Novak in this second round encounter by the scoreline 6-3, 1-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.
