| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pete Sampras practically owned Wimbledon during the 1990s. Sampras not only won six Wimbledon trophies (1993-1995, 1997-1999), he also won the Australian Open (1994, 1997) and U.S. Open (1990, 1993, 1995, 1996). Sports Illustrated called him the best male tennis player of the century, edging out Bill Tilden, whose glory years were in the 1920s. At the end of the decade Sampras had won sixty-one career titles and spent more weeks as the top-ranked player than anyone in history. This decade also saw Andre Agassi win his first grand slam title and his first and only French Open. The book recaps the top 10 male tennis players in 1996.
