Pete Sampras. Petros Pete Sampras (born August 12, 1971) is an American retired tennis player. He was a longtime world No. 1 and is regarded as one of the greatest players in tennis history. He was particularly esteemed for his precise serve, earning the nickname Pistol Pete.
Sampras would win one more major in his career, a fairytale finish at the U.S. Open in 2002 that gave him a 14th and final major crown. Sampras wouldn't play another match after that win over Andre Agassi, retiring from the game in 2003 and remaining a largely absent figure in the sport of tennis since.
