While most of his trophies might not be returned after they were stolen out of the storage facility, Pete Sampras will be happy to get some good news. The president of the International Tennis Federation has offered a replica trophy to Sampras for his two Davis Cups wins.
Sampras recently reported some of his trophies and memorabilia were stolen from a public storage facility in Los Angeles. Lucky he kept his Slam trophies home.
“We were sorry to learn of the theft of so many of Pete Sampras’s trophies," ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti says. "We know how special a Davis Cup victory is for a player, and if he is unable to recover the loss of his two Davis Cup trophies, we would like to offer him a replica trophy in recognition of his outstanding record in the event.”
