Petros "Pete" Sampras (pronounced ) (born August 12, 1971) is a retired American tennis player and former World No. 1. During his 15-year tour career, he won 14 Grand Slam singles titles.Sampras debuted on the professional tour in 1988 and played his last top-level tournament in 2002 when he won the US Open, defeating rival Andre Agassi in the final. He was the year-end World No. 1 for six consecutive years (1993–1998), a record for the open era. His seven Wimbledon singles championships is a record shared with William Renshaw. He spent 286 weeks at number 1, the most of any player. His five US Open singles titles is an open-era record shared with former World No. 1 players Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer. He won five ATP World Tour Finals, a record shared with Ivan Lendl and Federer. Sampras is the last American male to win Wimbledon (2000) and ATP World Tour Finals (1999). He is widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
Pete Sampras was born in Potomac, Maryland, and is the third child of Sammy and Georgia Sampras. His mother immigrated from Sparta, Greece, and his father was born in the United States to a Greek immigrant father and a Jewish mother. Greek culture played a big role in his upbringing.Pete attended regular services of the Greek Orthodox Church on Sundays. From an early age, Sampras showed signs of outstanding athletic ability. At age 3 Sampras discovered a tennis racket in the basement of his home and spent hours hitting balls against the wall. In 1978, the Sampras family moved to
Palos Verdes, California, and the warmer climate there allowed seven-year-old Pete to play more tennis. From early on, his great idol was Rod Laver, and at 11 Sampras met and played with him. The Sampras family joined the Jack Kramer Club, and it was here that Sampras's talent became apparent. He was spotted by Peter Fischer, a pediatrician and tennis enthusiast, who coached Sampras until 1989. Fischer was responsible for converting Sampras's double-handed backhand to single-handed with the goal of being better prepared to win Wimbledon.
Sampras turned professional in 1988, at the age of 16, and finished the year ranked World No. 97 after starting the year at World No. 893.His first professional match was a loss to Sammy Giammalva, Jr. at the February Ebel U.S. Pro Indoor in Philadelphia. But just one week later at the Lipton International Players Championships in Miami, Sampras defeated two top-40 players before losing to World No. 18 Emilio Sánchez. He did not defeat another top-40 player for almost six months, when he defeated World No. 39 Michiel Schapers at a US Open warm-up tournament in Rye Brook, New York
In his first Grand Slam singles match, Sampras lost to World No. 69 Jaime Yzaga of Peru in the first round of the US Open 6–7(2), 6–7(4), 6–4, 7–5, 6–2. Sampras did not advance past the quarterfinals in his next three tournaments, although he did record wins over World No. 79 Jim Courier, in their first career match-up, and World No. 8 Tim Mayotte.
The following year, Sampras slightly improved his ranking to a year-ending World No. 81.He lost in the first round of the 1989 Australian Open to Christian Saceanu and the first round of Wimbledon to Todd Woodbridge 7–5, 7–6(5), 5–7, 6–3. He won a Grand Slam singles match for the first time at the French Open before losing in the second round to eventual champion, 17-year-old Michael Chang, 6–1, 6–1, 6–1 in their first career match-up. At the US Open, Sampras defeated defending champion and fifth-seeded Mats Wilander in the second round 5–7, 6–3, 1–6, 6–1, 6–4 before losing to World No. 13 Jay Berger in the fourth round. To end the year, Sampras lost in the first round of four consecutive tournaments.
Sampras finished 1990 at World No. 5, having started the year ranked World No. 61 just prior to the start of the Australian Open. He lost to Wilander in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Sydney. At the Australian Open, Sampras upset twelfth-ranked Mayotte in the first round 7–6(6), 6–7(5), 4–6, 7–5, 12–10 before losing to thirteenth-ranked Yannick Noah in the fourth round in four sets. His first professional singles title came in February at the Ebel U.S. Pro Indoor in Philadelphia, where he defeated sixth-ranked Andre Agassi, eighth-ranked Mayotte, and eighteenth-ranked Andrés Gómez in the final.

Kelly Brook Figure Player

London, Sep 9 : Brit model/actress Kelly Brook was seen promoting a mass bike ride in London on September 8.

Brook, 29, wore a summery Fifties-style dress, as she joined Mayor Boris Johnson to launch Skyride, which takes place on traffic-free roads in the capital.

She will take part in the September 20 event with the Mayor and Olympic medallist Sir Chris Hoy.

“Boris is going to be there, Chris is going to be there, it’s a really exciting event,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying. (ANI)Madonna’s pervert brother Christopher Ciccone, who is a non-rehabilitated drug addict that did a book containing nothing but photos of naked butts, and got in on dirty business deals with his even more perverted sister, is doing a tell all about her.

That family behaves like barbarians. What a messed up gene pool. Knowing them, I highly doubt the book will be original. What’s he really going to tell us that we don’t already know, anyway:
London, Nov 21 : Actress Kelly Brook is in no rush to get married to her beau and rugby ace Danny Cipriani.
Cipriani is eight years her junior and they have been dating for the past 18 months.

“This year hasn’t been easy, but I’m in a good place right now,” the Mirror quoted Brooke as saying.

She added: “I’ve got a great job and a toyboy and I turn 30 next week, which I’m excited about.

Justine Henin Retires From Tennis


Age: 28.

Residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Her father is José Henin; her mother, Françoise Rosière, was a French and history teacher who died when Justine was 12 years old. She has two brothers (David and Thomas) and a sister (Sarah). She also would have had an elder sister who was killed in a car accident before Justine was born.

Following a conflict between Justine and her father over her tennis career and her relationship with Pierre-Yves Hardenne, Rodriguez became not only her trainer but in some ways a second father figure.

During the 2007 French Open, her brothers and sister attended her matches for the first time in her professional career.

Stands alone record: Won the FO twice without losing a set.

She is known to her fans as ‘Juju’.

It is not the first time that Henin has announced her retirement from tennis. Back in 2008, she stunned the tennis world by announcing her retirement half way through the season. At the time, she was only 25 years old and was ranked as the number one player in the world. She claimed she had fallen out of love with the game and lacked any motivation for tennis:

"I didn't want to be on the court anymore. The tennis itself wasn't a problem. The problem was motivation. I just felt: 'Please don't talk to me about the French Open or Wimbledon'. To me it wasn't important any more. I just wanted to know more things about myself. And I had the feeling that tennis didn't have the capacity to make me happy any more. I felt it was the time to go away.”

She decided to return to tennis just over 12 months ago after regaining her love for the game and lured back by the one missing feather in her crown – a Wimbledon title. Her first match in over 18 months came in Brisbane in January where she defeated the world number 20, Nadia Petrova, in straight sets.

The comeback continued to gain momentum and she progressed right through to the final, where she was eventually defeated by fellow Belgian, Kim Clijsters, who herself had recently returned from retirement from the game.

All the focus was on Justine as she headed to the Australian Open and whether she could imitate Clijsters’ achievement of winning a Grand Slam on her return. The fairytale looked to be on as she cruised through to the final, dispatching world number five, Elena Dementieva, in the second round, and dropping just one game in hammering Jie Zheng in the semi-final.t is a sad end to the career of one of the greatest players of the modern game. With 43 singles titles, including seven Grand Slams, an Olympic gold medal and over $20m in prize money, her achievements are almost unrivalled in the women’s game of tennis. However, the elbow injury that she picked up in a fall at Wimbledon last year has ultimately brought a premature end to the tennis career of Justine Henin.
ustine Henin was born June 1, 1982 in Liège, Belgium to José Henin (father) and Françoise Rosière (mother). She has two brothers (David and Thomas) and a sister (Sarah).

Justine started to play tennis when she was 2 years old when the family moved to a house next to a tennis club. As a kid she was a very good soccer player and a brilliant student.

In 1995 when Justine was 12 years old her mother died. Shortly after her death Justine met her coach Carlos Rodriguez who has guided her tennis career ever since. After a conflict with her father regarding her tennis career and her relationships with Pierre-Yves Hardenne, Carols has been a second father figure to Justine.

Justine met Pierre-Yves Hardenne in 1999. They got married in November 2002. After the marriage Justine changed her name to Justine Henin Hardenne. Eventually the couple got divorced and Justine has changed her name back to Justine Henin.

In 2007 Justine opened two tennis camps to help kids learn the sport.
Justine Henin’s accomplishments as a professional tennis player are very impressive. She has:

Won 7 Grand Slam Singles Titles
4 French Open Titles (2003, 2005-7)
2 US Open Titles (2003, 2007)
1 Australian Open Title in 2004
Won the Summer Olympic Gold in Singles at the 2004 Games in Athens.
Won the Year-End WTA Tour Championships in 2006, 2007.
Won 8 WTA Tier 1 Tournaments.
Finished the year as the World’s Number 1 Women’s Singles Player in 2003, 2006 and 2007.
Here are some of her career highlights so far.

As a junior Justine won the junior Girls Singles title at the 1997 French Open.

She began her professional career with a wild card entry to the Belgian Open in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour in May 1999 and became only the fifth player to win her debut WTA Tour event.

2003 was Justine’s year in Women’s tennis. She won her first Singles Grand Slam at the French Open defeating Kim Clijsters in the finals. This was Belgium’s first Grand Slam win. Later that year she won her second Singles Grand Slam Tournament at the US Open and became the World Number 2 player behind her compatriot Kim Clijsters. The Belgians were dominating Women’s tennis at this stage. Henin won five other tournaments that year. She finished the year as the World Number 1 player for the first time.

Justine had a good start to 2004 wining the Australian Open. But at the start of the 2004 spring clay court season her health was badly affected by a virus (cytomegalovirus) and an immune system problem. She often slept up to 18hrs a day. She decided to defend her French Open title but lost in the second round to a much lower ranked player. After months of layoffs Justine returned to competition in August to win the Summer Olympic Gold Medal for Women’s Singles in Athens, Greece, defeating Amélie Mauresmo of France in the final. This was the only Belgian Gold Medal at Athens. Henin considers this victory to be her most beautiful victory in her career.

In 2005, the Tennis Magazine placed Justine in 31st place on its list of the 40 Greatest Players for the period 1965 through 2005. In November 2005, at the WTA Tour Championships, she was named the inaugural winner of the Whirlpool Sixth Sense Player of the Year, which honors the player who has demonstrated the most sixth sense intuition which means "heightened intelligence, unbeatable performance and pinpoint precision".
In 2006, at the Australian Open final against the Amélie Mauresmo, Henin retired after trailing 6–1, 2–0, citing intense stomach pain caused by over-use of anti-inflammatories for a persistent shoulder injury. She was criticized by the press as she stated that she was in "peak of her fitness" and playing the "best tennis of her life" after her semifinal win over Maria Sharapova. This was only the fourth Grand Slam women's singles final to end by retirement since 1900 and the first in the open era.

At the 2007 Wimbledon Semifinals, Henin lost to Marion Bartoli 1–6, 7–5, 6–1. Henin won the first set and was up a break in the second set at 1-0 and 4-3 but could not hold her lead. This match is described as one of the biggest upsets in Wimbledon history. In the year end WTA Tour Championships Henin beat Maria Sharapova in a three set match that lasted 3 hours, 24 minutes. This is the longest match in this tournament and Henin’s longest match. It is the 12th longest women’s match ever. In 2007 Justine also became the first Woman to pass the US$5 Million a year barrier in prize money. By crossing US$19 Million in overall price money, she is ranked 5th in the all time price money list.

In the start of 2008 Justine Henin withdrew from several tournaments due to injury and fatigue. She also lost easily to several opponents.

Julia Goerges German Tennis Star

Julia Görges (born 2 November 1988 in Bad Oldesloe) is a professional tennis player from Germany. She qualified for the main draw at the 2007 US Open and lost 6–0, 6–3 to number one Justine Henin in the first round. Görges reached a career high singles ranking of World Number 64 on 15 February 2010, and as of that date has reached World Number 303 for doubles, on 18 February, 2008. She has not won a WTA title, but has won 4 ITF singles titles, and 3 ITF doubles titles



STUTTGART, Germany (April 24, 2010) – Julia Goerges is my new favorite female tennis player. The 22-year-old German native of Bad Oldesloe is also probably the most *Goergeous* woman currently bouncing around the WTA circuit - a statuesque 6-footer with slender long legs and - an anomaly in the women's game (outside of Serena Williams, Nicole Vaidosova, Caroline Wozniacki and perhaps handful of others) - a curvaceous female athlete actually built like a woman: that is to say, she has a rack! (Think about it:
when's the last time you saw a top female tennis player that actually needed to wear a sports bra? I have a short list of candidates - see "The All England Rack-It Club" - but only a scant few are also top-heavy in the WTA rankings.) Facially, she reminds me of a cross between actresses Jill Hennessy and Sandra Bullock.
And on April 24th, this 32nd-ranked outsider "stunned" world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 in the Stuttgart WTA claycourt final to win her first title of the year in front of an ecstatic home crowd. I put "stunned" in quotes because, cute and loveable and media-friendly as the Dane darling is, I've always seen her as a pretender and not a true contender for the throne of women's tennis - she's a counterpuncher who's pretty good in all aspects of the game without any one go-to weapon in her arsenal that's a knockout punch.
And she's still never won a Grand Slam event. (I rest my case.) Now, Julia Goerges has a similar all-around game, and is not exactly fleet of foot (she's carrying around that extra real estate uptown, after all), but at 6-feet tall, her kick-serve is a force to be reckoned with. Let's hope she carries on her current excellent form to even bigger accomplishments as the 2011 French Open (where Julia lost to Serena Williams in the second round last year) nears!

Sampras in 1991 captured the first of his five career titles at the year-end Tennis Masters Cup. Upon entering the US Open as the defending champion that year, he caused controversy when, after losing in the quarterfinals to Jim Courier, Sampras said that he was not disappointed and felt relieved that the pressure to defend his title was no longer on him. This led to widespread criticism, which included disparaging remarks from Courier and Jimmy Connors.

marat safin

Marat Mikhailovich Safin; (Russian: Марат Михайлович Сафин) (born January 27, 1980) is a Russian former tennis player. Safin won two majors and reached the world number 1 ranking during his career. He was also famous for his emotional outbursts and sometimes fiery temper on court. Safin also holds the record for most broken racquets in a year with 87. Safin is the older brother of former World No. 1 WTA player Dinara Safina (Dinara Mikhailovna Safina) (Russian: Динара Михайловна Сафина), born April 27, 1986 in Moscow. They are the first brother-sister tandem in tennis history to both achieve No. 1 rankings.
Safin began his professional career in 1997, and held the No. 1 world ranking for a total of 9 weeks between November 2000 and April 2001. He won his first Grand Slam title at the 2000 U.S. Open after defeating Pete Sampras, and won the 2005 Australian Open, defeating Australian Lleyton Hewitt in the final. Safin helped lead Russia to Davis Cup victories in 2002 and 2006. Despite his dislike of grass courts, he became the first Russian man to reach the semi-finals of Wimbledon at the 2008 Wimbledon Championships. At the time of his final Grand Slam appearance at the US Open on September 2, 2009, Safin was No. 58 in the official world men's tennis rankings.
Safin was born in Moscow, USSR (now Russia), his father is Mikhail Alexeivich Safin and his mother is Rausa Islanova. He speaks Russian, English, and Spanish as well as his native Tatar. His parents are former tennis players and coaches. His younger sister, Dinara Safina, is a professional tennis player and silver medalist at the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing. Safin's father managed the local Spartak Tennis Club, where Safin trained in his youth alongside several tennis players, including Anna Kournikova, Elena Dementieva, and Anastasiya Myskina.
Safin held the No. 1 ATP ranking for 9 weeks during 2000 (making him the tallest number 1 ranked player of all time) when he won his first Grand Slam tournament at the US Open, becoming the only Russian in history to win this tournament in the Mens Singles draw, by defeating Pete Sampras in straight sets. However, a succession of injuries hindered his progress and Safin missed the majority of the season in 2003 as a result.
Safin reached the final round in three more Grand Slam tournaments, all in the Australian Open in 2002, 2004, and 2005. He has cited nervousness as the reason for his loss in the 2002 event, and physical exhaustion for the 2004 loss. He defeated home-country favorite Lleyton Hewitt in the 2005 finals to secure his second Grand Slam in five years. En route to this final, he defeated top-ranked Roger Federer in a five-set semi-final match. After ending Federer's 26-match winning streak over top-10 players, Safin described the match as "a brain fight."
Safin helped Russia achieve its first Davis Cup victory in 2002, with a 3–2 tie-breaking win against France in the final round at the Palais Omnisports Paris Bercy. His Russian team included Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Mikhail Youzhny, Andrei Stoliarov, and team captain Shamil Tarpischev. The team made Davis Cup history by being the second to win the event after losing the doubles tie-breaker, and becoming the first team to win a (live-televised) five-set finals match by coming back from a two-set deficit. Safin also helped Russia to win the Davis Cup in 2006. After a straight sets defeat by David Nalbandian in his first match, his doubles victory (partnering Dmitry Tursunov) against Nalbandian and Agustín Calleri and singles victory against José Acasuso drove Russia to victory.
Heavily favored Russia was hosted by Israel in a Davis Cup quarterfinal tie in July 2009, on indoor hard courts at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv. Russia had won the Davis Cup in both 2002 and 2006, and was the top-ranked country in Davis Cup standings.The stage was set by Safin, who prior to the tie told the press: "With all due respect, Israel was lucky to get to the quarterfinals."The Israeli team then beat the Russian team in each of their first three matches. Harel Levy (world # 210) beat Andreev (world # 24), and Dudi Sela (# 33) followed by beating Youzhny. The next day Israelis Andy Ram and Jonathan Erlich beat Safin and doubles specialist Kunitsyn 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 4-6, 6-4 in front of a boisterous crowd of over 10,000.With the tie clinched for Israel, the reverse singles rubbers were "dead", and instead of best-of-five matches, best-of-three sets were played, with the outcomes of little to no importance.[16] Israel wrapped up a 4-1 victory over Russia, splitting the final matches.
