Statue Petition

Petition for a Pete Sampras Statue

To All Pete Sampras Fans,

Pete Sampras, winner of 14 Grand Slams is a tennis legend who needs to be remembered not only by his tennis fans worldwide, but by all who attend the U.S. Open and all who see the Grand Slam on television. For this reason, we believe that a statue of Pete at the U.S. Open would be a wonderful way of giving recognition to his great tennis.

Please sign our petition to send to the USTA asking them to erect a statue of Pete at the U.S. Open in New York in recognition of his many years of great tennis.

A statue of Pete Sampras at the US Open would be a wonderful inspiration for all the generations to follow. Pete showed us all not only the heights to which tennis could be played but also how one should strive to conduct oneself both on and off the court. He was truly not only the greatest American player to hold a racquet, but perhaps the world’s greatest player. We thank you for your consideration.

Tennis was lucky to have Pete Sampras. He quietly went about the business of playing and winning the game--elevating it to something special whenever he stepped on the court. If he was boring, I hope we get another player as boring really soon. I miss Pete and a statue at the place where he won his first and last Grand Slam sounds like a great idea to me.

For his unmatched on-court achievements and heroics, his outstanding sportsmanship, his reverence for the greats of yesteryear and respect for today's champions, and his terrific record -- five singles titles -- at the U.S. Open,
the USTA and the U.S. Open should honor Pete Sampras with a statue.

It would be great to see the great Pete Sampras immortalised as a statue, as it would remind people who visit what a legend he is. He's an American icon and sorely missed on the courts today, never to be forgotten.

I think Pete embodied class, hardwork and excellence throughout his highly decorated career. A statue of him would be a nice tribute to his achievements on the court.

Pete has shown the world that you can be a gentleman in this day and age and still be one of the greatest players in tennis history. His achievements and skills speak for themselves, and a statue at the US Open to celebrate this great player would be the icing on the cake. =)
