Pete Sampras, known for his 14 major tennis titles, recently re-emerged, winning over fans even a decade after his retirement.
Widely hailed as one of the greatest players in the sport, Sampras had previously retired from the public eye.
However, recent events, particularly his revelation about his wife Bridgette’s battle with ovarian cancer three months ago, have briefly brought him back into the spotlight.
In an unusual move for the typically private Sampras, he issued a rare public statement to the ATP Tour, saying: “This past year has presented significant challenges for my family, and I have decided to share our experiences.”
Keeping his privacy private, Sampras surprised many by appearing at Starbucks in Beverly Hills.
Dressed casually, he carried iced coffees and briefly greeted those around him. Pete and Bridgette Sampras, married for 23 years with two children, continue to stay away from the intense scrutiny of the tennis world in California.
