		Whereas the grass courts of Wimbledon play to Sampras's strengths, his only real weakness is on clay, where the slow surface tends to negate his natural attacking serve-and-volley game, and he has never progressed beyond the semi-final stage at the French Open.
		Wimbledon 1995 Final: defeated Boris Becker, 6-7, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2, in a clash of two of the top grass-court players of their generation.
		Wimbledon 1998 Final: defeated Goran Ivanisevic, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, in a thrilling 5-set final.

	Manchester United - RedWeb3 - Treble Winners: 1998-1999 Wimbledon 1:1 Manchester United
		WIMBLEDON, where men have always been men, is a thousand miles and a million light years from the Old Lady of Turin, but the Dons produced all the defensive obduracy United can expect from Juventus on Wednesday to halt a damaging run of three successive defeats with a hard-earned point.
		Wimbledon have been on the slide of late, but they were true grit personified, particularly well served by their goalkeeper, Neil Sullivan, who is said to interest United and did his prospects of a lucrative move a power of good.
		Wimbledon were offering precious little as an attacking force, but might have burgled the lead late on when Marcus Gayle stepped inside Johnsen before letting fly from 20 yards and sending Schmeichel plunging low to his left.

	Manchester United - RedWeb3 - Treble Winners: 1998-1999 Wimbledon 1:1 Manchester United
		Wimbledon may have taken the lead after just five minutes through Jason Euell but they had to produce a simply stunning defensive performance for the remaining 85 minutes as leaders Manchester United threw absolutely everything at them.
		Wimbledon may not have beaten United in their past nine League encounters and even came into the game on the back of three successive defeats, but yet again they proved their ability to upset high-flying opponents.
		Wimbledon coach David Kemp insisted that Manchester United were still on course to win the title even after the Dons had dented their championship chances at Selhurst Park.

		Wimbledon, England (July 6, 1998)-- There were pleasant memories of Bjorn Borg in the Centre Court stands yesterday, particularly up in the Royal Box, where so many tennis greats had arrived to witness history.
		That is not a good excuse for anyone at Wimbledon, but Ivanisevic had played an interminable semifinal against Richard Krajicek (15-13 in the fifth) on Friday, ``and that cost me today,'' he said.
		WIMBLEDON, England - The obstacle on the path to join Bjorn Borg in modern tennis history was familiar, but this time Pete Sampras felt like he was a passenger on a wild roller-coaster ride, hanging on until the brooding, long-haired Croatian relinquished control.

		It adds weight to those who support the belief that holding all four of the main titles - Australia, France, Wimbledon and the US Open - simultaneously is just as genuine a Grand Slam as the traditional view that they must be won in the same calendar year.
