Born
on August 12, 1971 in Washington D.C., Pete started to play tennis at age
seven, idolizing Rod Laver and watching tapes of him. One year before he
turned pro, in 1987, he changed his two-handed backside to one-handed. He
made his Davis Cup debuts in 1991, helping the US to win in 1992 and
in 1995. He was named "Sportsman of the Year" byt the US Olympic Comitee
in 1997, being the first player to receive this award.
