2. Pete Sampras-
In my personal opinion, he is far the greatest Tennis player of all time. Even though he hasn't won a title in the French open like what Andre Agassi, Andi Roddick and other players did, his style of attacking the net, giving high speed Aces, and proving even retired he could beat the number one seed that Tennis has to offer today,
