Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Top Headline Wimbledon begins without Sampras
For years, a visit to Centre Court was part of Pete Sampras' ritual leading up to Wimbledon. He would stand in the shadows, soak up the silence and anticipate the applause to come. The cheering followed each of the seven titles he won at the All England Club from 1993 to 2000, a span during which he lost just one match.
But there was no Centre Court pilgrimage last week by Sampras, and there will be no cheers for him this week. With the tournament beginning Monday, the king of grass is absent for the first time in 15 years.
