Sampras to retire officially at US Open
Pete Sampras is making his retirement official and he will be honoured with a ceremony at the US Open.
Sampras has not played a match since winning his record 14th major title at the 2002 US Open, although he never formally said he was retiring.
That will change on Monday at a news conference he will hold before a tribute at Arthur Ashe Stadium on the first night of this year's Open.
Sampras has withdrawn from every event this season but remains ranked - currently 35th - because he never officially quit.
His last match was a 6-3 6-4 5-7 6-4 victory over Andre Agassi in the US Open final on September 8.
