the U.S Open in 1990.
Pete is one of my favorite all time player not because he held the longest number one spot in history, but because he is a great athlete. He has excellent tennis technique and coordination on the court. He also has the speed and power on all his shots. Pete also has a good temper on the court. he is mostly calm and quiet when he comes to playing. Outside the tennis courts, Pete is also a well respected person, because of his friendly personality.
