Pete Sampras, To Receive A Replica of His Davis Cup Trophy

Pete Sampras reported that most of his trophies and other memorabilia were stolen last month from a public storage facility in Los Angeles.



After hearing a report from former world number one, ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti issued a statement regarding the incident.

“We were sorry to learn of the theft of so many of Pete Sampras’ trophies. We know how special a Davis Cup victory is for a player, and if he is unable to recover the loss of his two Davis Cup trophies, we would like to offer him a replica trophy in recognition of his outstanding record in the event.”

This is a nice Christmas gift to Pete. Although memories are better than trophies yet, the latter are a symbol of your victory that can also be cherished as long as you live.
