The King of Swing: Pete Sampras

Sports Byline Classic

During his 15-year tour career, Pete Sampras built a quiet legacy of dominance in the tennis world.  With more men’s singles titles than anyone except Roger Federer, Sampras stands—by many accounts—as the greatest tennis player of all-time.


Consider his numbers: 14 Grand Slam titles, a 204-37 career record, the World No. 1 Ranked player for six years straight, and seven Wimbledon titles, a record shared only with tennis great William Renshaw. 

The big knock on Sampras was that he never made noise or a fuss about much at all.  Standing next to his ever-flamboyant rival Andre Agassi, Sampras looked like just a regular guy.  But as Ron Barr discovered in his sit down with Sampras, this tennis legend is anything but regular.

Listen to Ron Barr’s interview with Pete Sampras.
