Pete Sampras

Pete Sampras won seven Wimbledon titles in eight years, from 1993 to 2000, with the most reliable serve of the fast-grass era. He could hit the same ball toss for a flat serve out wide, down the middle or a kicker, so returners could not read it, and he followed it with sharp first volleys. On the old, faster Wimbledon grass that was close to unplayable.
