PETE SAMPRAS, THE EMPEROR ON THE LAND OF ROME AT THE 1994 INTERNATIONALS SportHistoria
article by Nicola Pucci
Just mentioning his name and reading his palmares, You get goosebumps when you talk about Pete Sampras. Because if it is true that only the advent of the big three, i.e. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, deprived him of the record of Slam tournaments put on the board, 14, as a corollary of 64 victories on the circuit, to which to add even 286 weeks as world number 1, we are remembering a champion who, if he is not elevated to the rank of greatest of all time, we are missing very little.
And yet… and yet there is some reservation about a phenomenon with the “f” capitalized, not assumed as such, that is his pedigree on clay, a surface that has never seen him go beyond a semi-final at Roland-Garros (1996), where Federer himself at least won in 2009, adding four other finals, all of which he lost to Nadal. Sampras, in fact, on the “red” he boasts only three titles, a first in Kitzbuhel in 1992, when he defeated the Argentine Alberto Mancini in the final, and a third in Atlanta in 1998, overcoming the Australian Jason Stoltenberg in the decisive moment.

Just when you think things can’t get any worse for Manchester United, they do.
Crystal Palace’s 4-0 demolition of United on Monday has left Erik Ten Hag’s men in real danger of missing out on a European place for next season as unwanted records continue to tumble.
The loss leaves them eighth in the Premier League and out of the European places – although a victory against Man City in the FA Cup final would guarantee a Europa League spot.
And, despite having 10 first-team players out injured, Ten Hag was not pulling any punches.
“It is clear and it is obvious,” he said. “This is underperforming.
“We didn’t act how we want to do it and it’s by far not good enough.”
How bad is it?
- This is the most defeats United have suffered in a Premier League season (13)
- United have never finished below seventh in Premier League,
Lando Norris Secures Maiden Formula One Victory at Miami Grand Prix
Miami Gardens, Fla. — Lando Norris, the McLaren Formula One driver, couldn’t help but smile during the post-race media sessions following his long-awaited victory. After coming close to winning a couple of times in the past, only to be thwarted by small errors or external circumstances, Norris finally clinched his first Formula One win. Since joining the F1 grid in 2019 at the age of 19, the British driver has shown promise, securing one pole position, standing on the podium 15 times, and completing over 6,000 laps.
During the post-race interviews, several drivers echoed the sentiment that Norris’ victory was long overdue. Fernando Alonso congratulated Norris and predicted that this win would be the first of many. Max Verstappen also expressed his happiness for Norris, emphasizing that this victory would not be his last. The timing of Norris’ victory is significant, as Red Bull has dominated most of the races in recent times, with the exception of the Singapore 2023 and Australia 2024 Grands Prix, both won by Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz. McLaren took advantage of the opportunity presented to them in Miami and triumphed over Red Bull in a head-to-head battle. Norris outpaced Verstappen after a safety car period,
overthrown by Lyon, Lille misses the opportunity to get on the podium
In a few weeks, when we will have to take stock of the season, this match will perhaps haunt the minds of Lille. After leading 2 to 0 then 3 to 2 against Lyon, Monday May 6 during the 32e day of Ligue 1, LOSC collapsed to finally lose at home 4-3, thus missing the opportunity to get on the podium which ensures direct qualification for the Champions League.
Two matches from the end of the championship, the northern club remains in fourth position – two points behind Brest held in check against Nantes (0-0) on Saturday – a place which offers the right to access the play-offs of the lucrative and prestigious European Cup, a stage which does not generally succeed for French clubs.
This defeat is as much the result of the self-sacrifice of the Lyonnais as the mental bankruptcy and inexperience of the Lille team who nevertheless offered a nail-biting first period, notably scoring twice. First by Bafodé Diakité with a superb header after a free kick from Yusuf Yazici (1-0, 21e), then by Edon Zhegrova, with a precise and surprising strike if not powerful to deceive the vigilance of Anthony Lopes from outside the area (2-0,
The UEFA rule that could prevent Keylor Navas from being the winningest goalkeeper in the Champions League 2024-05-07 00:14:40
The possibility of Keylor Navas lifting his fourth Champions League with PSG on June 1 has generated great expectations among fans. However, there is a rule that could prevent the Costa Rican goalkeeper from officially becoming a record man.
In the last few hours, MisterChip made a publication on his social networks in which he anticipated that the Costa Rica goalkeeper could go down in history as the goalkeeper with the most Champions League titles in Europe. Unfortunately, the Confederation of the old continent could cut short this dream.
Why is UEFA attacking Keylor Navas’ record?
The regulations of UEFA, the highest European football body, establish that only players who have participated in at least one minute of a match in the competition will be recognized as winners. This rule could affect Navas’ record, since so far he has not played any match in this season’s Champions League.
Although Keylor would receive his champion’s medal if PSG manages to win the title, he would not be officially proclaimed as the goalkeeper with the most European Cups in history. Currently, the Tico is tied with the Spanish Iker Casillas and the German Sepp Maier,
