Shut the fukk up cacHe's a millionaire who got paid to do something he enjoys and was praised for it. He retired before hitting 50. He has been married for over 20 years and has two children. He's won at life and clearly no longer feels he has anything to prove to anybody unless they share his last name or have known him for at least 5 years.
Pete's old breh
His first victory came against Andre Agassi at the 1990 US Open, while he also went out on a high against the same opponent on the same stage 12 years later. Sampras also claimed the world number one ranking in 1993, a position he held for 286 weeks.
And the man who was so often Tim Henman's nemesis was recently snapped sporting a very different look on his morning coffee run. Having been clean shaven during his playing career, he now has a short, stubbly beard, flabby hairline while he no longer boasts the dark, curly hair he used to. Sampras’ outfit was also trash.
Sampras, a seven-time Wimbledon singles champion, opened up about his decision to retire back in 2019. Speaking in his biography ‘Pete Sampras: Greatness Revisited', the American said: “I had to figure out what was next with my tennis.
"I didn’t know what to feel. I flew home the night I won the Open and just enjoyed that. Two or three months later I was talking to [coach] Paul [Annacone] about what was next and getting ready for Australia, but I was not emotionally ready.
“So I felt I would see how I felt about playing Indian Wells or Miami in 2003. I was still hitting balls (pause) but just didn’t want to do the work it took for the reward at the end. It just seemed unbalanced to me. I didn’t feel like doing the practice or the gym work.
