Californian Pete Sampras was the world number one for 6 consecutive years. He has 64 career titles that include 7 Wimbledon, 5 US Open and 2 Australian Open. Sampras’s career prize money totaled $43,280,489. Pete Sampras was inducted into the prestigious Tennis Hall of Fame in 2007. He is most remembered for his epic tennis battles against Andre Agassi, towards the end of his tennis career in the 1900s.

After winning his last Grand Slam Title, the US Open in 2002, he retired. He was clearly comfortable on grass and hard courts. During his time, 14 Grand Slam Titles and world number one for 6 consecutive years was a record.

He is considered as one of the ten best tennis players of all time though he doesn’t have a French Open title to his credit. Some might dispute this statement because he mastered some surfaces and clearly struggled on the others. Either way, he undisputedly defended his top rank for 6 consecutive years.
