Chrect answer: Sampras.
The Sampras parental recalcitrance became legendary after Pete won his first Grand Slam event, the U.S. Open, in 1990. Stories later told of how Sam and Georgia had walked around a Long Beach mall while Pete was playing and finally, unable to stand it anymore, stopped at a bank of TVs and asked the salesman who was winning.
“I’m just too nervous,” Sam says. “That’s why we don’t go and watch much. It’s just too hard. Only if you are a parent can you really understand that. Watching is excruciating.”
