American resurrected in New York after two decades

The winner in 2003 was Andy Roddick, a player with a tight gait and a fearsome serve. He is the swan song of American men’s tennis on the world stage.but A new generation of young talent appears poised to end the streak. A new sample will appear in the quarter-finals in New York, which kicks off on Tuesday and features three Americans: Francis Tiafoe, Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton.

The trio bottomed out at the bottom of the table, ensuring at least one semi-finalist – with Tiafoe and Shelton facing off in the quarter-finals, one of the tournament’s most intriguing matches – — but their opponents are among the toughest in the tournament. Way to the imaginary final: Novak Djokovic.

This U.S. Open is unlikely to be the end of the desert trip. Besides Djokovic, there are other a priori favorites like Carlos Alcaraz or Yannick Sinner.

But Team USA’s performance in the quarter-finals showed that the stagnant nation that once dominated tennis is recovering. Even in the Championship, they are playing at home. No three Americans have reached the quarterfinals since Andre Agassi, James Black and Robbie Ginepri reached the round in 2005.

Droughts in America are unheard of in tennis, a country that has historically been used to tying up the sport’s rulers in a seemingly endless dynasty of champions. Billie Gene King, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Keith Evert, Monica Sells, Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras… The latter — none of whom are believed to have topped his fourteen “big” ones — quit winning the last US Grand Slam in 2003, days before Roddick began competing.

Femdom, Male Disaster

women’s dominance Venus, especially Serena Williams Maybe he’s glossing over a disaster in men’s tennis. But just as Serena backed out, relief began to light up. That happened last year, when Thiafoe slid to the semi-finals in the same edition — Alcaraz stopped him in a furious five-set match — and his heir apparent, Coco Goff, did as well this year. Into the quarter-finals.

The easiest explanation for understanding US men’s tennis’ troubles is The “Big Three” phenomenon, the Big Three. For the past two decades, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have dominated the world of tennis.

But really, it’s here in New York that they’ve opened the door to other champions because they’re out of form or absent for different reasons. Juan Martin del Potro, Andy Murray, Marin Cilic, Stan Wawrinka, Dominic Thiem and Daniel Medvedev have won the US Open during the US drought.

Some people in the United States have criticized the lack of hunger for American tennis players, and the coaching and competition system is worse than that of the other side of the Atlantic.have Complacency after decades of dominanceother countries, especially Eastern European countries, but also other countries such as Spain, have grown beards.

The United States Tennis Association (USTA), the governing body of tennis in the United States, is determined to change that. He handed over the tennis player’s training and training program to Patrick McEnroe, a professional tennis player and brother of a great national champion.

USTA invests in tennis education, expanded its Florida facility with a spectacular 98 tennis court campus. Teenagers Tiafoe, Fritz and Tommy Paul, another American who made the cut to eighth, happened to be together. Then there’s Ben Shelton, the sensation of the event (he knocked out Paul) with a tee speed of 240km/h.

The results are now out. Fritz and Tiafoe among the world’s ‘top ten’It hasn’t happened to the two Americans since 2010. Is all this enough to bring the “big” trot back? The answer lies in the firm blue cement of New York.
