However, Sampras’ career and legacy were quickly overshadowed by the rise of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, all of whom surpassed Sampras’ milestone in just over sixteen years. Launched on the 30th anniversary of Sampras’ historic first major singles title at the 1990 US Open, Flink’s book reexamines the Sampras era and reminds readers of his dominance and excellence, focusing primarily on each major singles victory.
One of the most respected writers and observers in the game, Flink is currently a columnist for TennisChannel.com. He lives in Katonah, NY, is a former editor of World Tennis magazine and a former senior columnist at Tennis Week. The book has received high praise from some of the most respected names in the sport, including Chris Evert, winner of 18 major singles titles in her career, who wrote the book’s foreword. Seven-time Wimbledon champion Pete Sampras said: “Steve Flink was there reporting on almost every major match I played in my career. He has seen all the great players of the last 45 years. I encourage you to read this book because Steve is one of the most insightful writers on the game I have known and he really knows his tennis.”
