18. • In 1998, after X defeated Sampras in the Cincinnati
Masters final, Sampras, at the time winner of 11 Grand Slams,
when asked about the difference between himself and X,
famously stated "Ten grand slams", that a controversial line-
call cost him the match, and that a player had to come back
and win another Grand Slam title in order to be considered
great. The two met in the semifinals of the 1998 US Open, with
X winning in five sets. Sampras cited a leg injury as the reason
X won, an attitude that upset X: "He really does say some
funny things at the wrong time", said X, "We are out there
busting our guts and he doesn't show a lot of respect at the
end of the day. He tries to play down the reason why he lost,
giving no respect to the other player, and that is what really
upsets me about him and the reason I try to piss him off as
much as I can.” X defended his 1997 U.S. Open title by
defeating Mark Philippoussis in the 1998 final, After that
Sampras said about X, "When I see him holding the US Open
trophy, it pisses me off. Who is X?

the Open since Michael Bonallack in 1968. One of X's first-
round partners was Y, after whom he is named. Y's eight major

32. • ) In the 9th episode of Family Guy’s 7th season, Peter comes across a
raffle ticket from 1989 that he has forgotten to cash in winning him a
chance to play golf with X. Unaware of X’s past, he decides to cash
in the ticket, much to his friends and family’s dismay. Ultimately, he
agrees to his friends’ suggestion to wire up in order to coax
something out of X. However, the cover is soon blown when the
device shorts out. Feeling guilty, Peter decides to befriend X. Peter
brings X home with him to meet the family, who are initially less
tolerant of X than Peter. Deciding to let X stay at their house, word
soon gets out of X's presence in Quahog, causing Peter to decide to
throw a house party and help everyone else get to know him better.
Later that day, Peter and Y are met with an angry mob instead, intent
on driving the latter out of town. Desperate for a place to live without
being bothered, X makes a heartfelt speech, professing that he is
just as imperfect as everyone else, causing the residents of Quahog
to apologize. Towards the end of the episode X, however, does
something and runs off with the whole town following in pursuit. It is
then that realization dawns on Peter.
