Pete Sampras won 14 Grand Slam singles titles — a men's record at the time of his retirement — including a men's-record 7 Wimbledon crowns, and finished as year-end world No. 1 for a record six consecutive years (1993–1998). Twelve of his fourteen majors came before 2000, so his career is classed here as pre-2000 despite capping it off with a Wimbledon title in 2000 and a final US Open win in 2002, his last professional match.
