| Pete Sampras' Most Unforgettable Scenes |
| Peak: Answering 'yes' to Courier's question if he is OK, while his voice suffocated with tears (1:1, 5th set). More: Sitting on his chair during change-up and crying fluently with his head inside the towel (1:0 5th set). Stopping his service motion midway and continue to cry (1:1, 5th set). |
| Lying on his back sick and injured, breathing hard, after wining a grueling rally with a stunning running forehand to reach a break point in the 9th game of the 5th set. |
| 5. US.Open 2002 - 14th Major Against All Odds Hugging & kissing Bridgette after the win. The winning moment - putting his right hand on his head, overwhelmed by the moment. |
| Pointing the sky with his fingers, towards Timmy, his late coach, while preparing to leave the court after his heroic win in a match that was amazingly similar to the one in Australia, a year and a half earlier. Wiping a tear with his sleeve, and bouncing the ball without catching it in its rise while serving to force a decisive set, 5:4 40-0 up in the 4th set. Not only the viewers had flashback to Australia 95 - Pete's thoughts were similar. |
| Being carried away from the court just after match-point, after getting cramps all over his lower body. |
| 10. Australian Open 1995 - ceremony after the final Getting a little emotional while thanking Timmy and telling he his thinking about him. |
| 6. Wimbledon 2000 - Breaking the Record Shedding tears on the court after his win, looking for his parents at the crowd, finding them and hugging with them. |
| 7. US.Open 2003 - Retirement Ceremony Breaking into tears immediately and loosing it completely during the standing Ovation. |

| Peak: Obviously the vomiting, but besides that: getting ready to serve after the change-up, staggering behind the baseline and picking balls from the ball-boy, while most of the fans behind him standing on their feet and roaring: "Pete Pete Pete..." (5th set tie-break, 3-3). More: Staggering from one side of the court to the other side, senses blinded, during the change of sides at 6:6 in the decisive tie-break. After his thriller 2nd serve ace at 7:7 in the decisive tie-break, leaning on his knees while nobody has an explanation to what just happened. One point after the vomiting, walking, senses blinded, to the receiving spot on the baseline and putting his fingers in his ears, in order to decrease the pain (as result of the noise). Clinching the fist on his way to the chair, after breaking Corretja's serve for a 2:1 lead in the 4th set. Shaking his head, as if saying to himself 'why this is happening to me again', after an exhausting winner to win the 4th game in the decisive set. Putting his hands on his waist and wondering two seconds after an amazing half-volley to reach break point in the 3rd game of the 4th set. Smiling After the win, after giving up on raising his hand due to lack of strength. Lining on his knees or racket after every point during the tie-break. Leaving the court with the medical staff with his racket still in his hand. |
