- Ever since Pete Sampras was 7, he
- wanted to be a professional tennis
- player. His idol was Rod Laver, a
- tennis star from Australia. Rod won
- 11 Grand Slam titles in the 1960ΓÇÖs.
- Pete studied tapes of RodΓÇÖs playing
- to learn how to improve his own
- game. When Pete was 11, he met
- Rod and even hit a few balls with
- him. Pete was so excited and
- nervous that he barely hit any over
- the net!
