When asked about Tim Henman's chances of winning Wimbledon in 2005, Pete Sampras told The Times of London, "Is Tim the best player in the world? No. Is he truly a great player? No. But he is an extremely talented player and if things fall in to place it can happen. He needs the right players to lose, he needs to be scheduled at the right time, he needs to shut out the voices he doesn't need to hear. I had the single-minded focus that he is still trying to find." Sampras won 14 major championship titles during his career including Wimbledon singles titles in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000.
