Ha, worst picture of Pistol Pete there. Looks about 50. Going with Sampras tho, the man put the medals on the table, didn't he? Tilden winning the French professional title nearly swung it tho, clay was Sampras's Achilles' heel without doubt.

Pistol Pete

The SWaugh of tennis...cold, emotionless, ruthless, ravenous...and that's just off the court...

 

[The Sean]

There are only a handful of players in the history of the game who I'd place above Bill Tilden, but Sampras is one of them.
