Pete Sampras: The Silent Hero
by
A. Albert
In the world of tennis, there are superstars and there are legends. The superstars shine the brightest with a string of victories under their belt. But very superstar aspires to be a legend because the flame of their legacy will never die out. True enough, legends never die. Their legacy lives on in the hearts of true tennis fans everywhere. There may be young fledglings out there that are quickly becoming the newest stars of the sport, but they look up to the legends themselves as a source of inspiration. Once upon a time, Pete Sampras looked up to a tennis legend to get to where he is today. Even the legends themselves look up to legends.

by
Kadence Buchanan
When one talks about the greatest tennis players of all time, only a handful of names come to mind. In terms of sheer number of championships won, perhaps no one is more deserving of the tag "the greatest ever" than Pete Sampras.

Federer Vs Sampras - 14 Tennis Grand Slams Each, But Who is the Best?
by
Paul Gold
So just over one month ago all the so-called tennis experts (including you - probably!) were all scratching their heads wondering whether Roger Federer would ever win another Slam and "BANG" he goes and wins the one we just didn't see happening - The French Open after beating Soderling pretty easily in the final at Roland Garros. He had a couple of scary moments along the way - Everybody thought that Rafa Nadal was unbeatable on clay at the French and that Roger would have to wait until Wimbledon to have another go at catching "Pistol Pete".

The Myth of Playing Up in Tennis
by
Jim H Klein
During the 2004 US Open, Mary Carillo told the story of two opponents who were about to face each other in the round of 16. The two players were Andre Agassi and Sargis Sargsian. Carillo goes on to say that Agassi and Sargsian have been good friends and practice partners for years. In fact the two of them had been practicing the entire US Open summer series together in 2004. My point to all of this, Agassi is by far the better player and yet he is practicing with someone who is obviously not his equal...

Is Roger Federer in Fact the Best Player of All Time?
by
Sergio Cruz
This question is posed every time I watch a tennis match on TV involving Roger Federer and some pundits are willing to award this title of best player of all time to Federer. We all can understand that the press will have to be positive and cater to the ATP, the tournament directors and the sponsors to get their free passes.
