The career of American former tennis player Pete Sampras started when he turned professional in 1988 and lasted until his official retirement in August 2003. During his career Sampras played in 265 official tournaments and won 64 singles titles, including 14 singles titles at Grand Slam events. He competed in 16 ties for the United States Davis Cup team between 1991 and 2002 and was a member of the Davis Cup winning team in 1992 and 1995. Sampras reached the No. 1 ranking on April 12, 1993, and in total held that position for 286 weeks, third all-time. He finished the year as the No. 1 ranked player six consecutive times. His career win–loss record is 762–222 (77.4%).
Sampras is 7–0 in Wimbledon finals and is the only male player to win 3 or more consecutive Wimbledon titles twice in his career (1993–1995, 1997–2000). He was the first men's player to win 14 major singles titles. His win–loss record in major finals is unsurpassed at 78% (14 wins in 18 finals) for players who have appeared in at least 10 major finals. He is the only American male player to win more than 10 major titles.
