In order to improve something we must first acknowledge there is something that needs improving; a problem that needs solving. So is there a problem with Elite American Tennis?
As far as rankings go after Andy Roddick, the next Americans on the ATP are John Isner (22) and Sam Querry (25). America has had a long history of TOP tennis; from the 70’s, with Smith, Ashe, Connors and McEnroe, to Agassi and Sampras in the 80’s and 90’s. From my observation this is no longer the case. This isn’t a slight to Andy or any of the current American players, but it appears that something is missing.
Women’s American Tennis is also on a similar “non-existence” trend. After the Williams’ sisters, the next best is Oudin at 36.
So I ask: How do we improve American Tennis?
