Advantages: legend, great tennis player

Disadvantages: never done as well on clay

Pete Sampras is a tennis player in his own league, this year he was knocked out o Wimbledon, but yet his status amongst his fans is legendary. His image is good amongst his fans, though his critics and those who commentate on him still manage to find faults in him. He has won twelve grand slams in his career, and is continuing to break records.

This season has been a let down and not what his fans are used to, I remember when Boris Becker was the king of tennis but then came this man a man who dominated the game for year’s to come. Breaking records along the way, he went passed Roy Emerson's record for grand slams wins and along the way confirmed his status as one of the best grass players of his time.

His only disappointment has been his failure to win The French Open even this tennis player has weakness and this can be one of them, however for a player who has achieved so much it can be excused. So many times he has come back to win epic matches and reaffirm his position as the best. So this year’s defeat was a shock, but his camp accepted the defeat looking at the injury setbacks and his form of late it.
Sampras himself said that after winning last year, the emphasis to win was not as great.

Sampras is getting on a bit now, even if he doesn’t achieve anything in his life again, I will still remember him as the best tennis player of my time.
