Answer
Pete Sampras's Wimbledon winning streak was broken by Richard Krajicek in 1996. Sampras had won the tournament for three consecutive years from 1993 to 1995, and was the heavy favorite to win again in 1996. However, Krajicek, a big-serving Dutchman, upset Sampras in the quarterfinals in four sets, ending his streak at 26 matches.
