Did you see him at queens?

[logant44]

@123YouJack456 you are insane.

He's a nice guy. And I like him. But he has no chance ever of winning a slam. With a good draw he'll make one or two semis. But never will he win.

just unlucky for samurai.

[123YouJack456]

Sam, is absoloutely going to be the next American to win a slam. You can bank on that right there

I remember once it was mentioned that U.S's tennis facilities are very advanced, with many courts, many players, many top coaches, so where is the problem? One expert mentioned it is perhaps a lack of clay courts to train youngings' footwork and versatility, I think we can agree american players are weak in those two aspects.

European public courts are mostly clay instead of hardcourts.

Anyways, whatever the case, my country Canada is pathetic, lots of recreational tennis, lack of pros.

well tennis is without a doubt an expensive sport, i am sure thousands of potential talents had been lost cause their family couldn't finance them, this happens not just in the U.S, it's global.

Actually just most players who compete profesionally on the tour has somewhat of a upper-class background (i.e. Nadal, Gulbis, Fed, Rod, etc), I agree with you that money is a big factor.

U.S has a huge pool of tennis players regardless of popularity cause of huge population.

... but fewer fans than hoops, football, baseball, and, sadly, NASCAR competes favorably with tennis in terms of media exposure, how do other countries overcome these issues, are they unique to the US?

[jtatsiue]

I always thought the primary barriers to US tennis were class, as in socio-economic class, tennis is really expensive. My middle-class life can barely fund the court fees, constant racket re-stringings, occassional lessons, etc... so if parents want their kids to be great don't they almost have to be pretty well off? Serena, Venus aren't the norm, also, there are so many other sports to choose from, tennis suffers from a bit of the same syndrome as soccer, heavy youth involvement (part 1 of 2)

[gabe228]

murray, delpotro, djokovic and nadal (his 6 early slams and many injuries makes people forget he is only 23), they are all still very young with 5-8+ years more of dominance if they can maintain well, these are tough nuts to crack.

I havn't seen any new promising players from U.S at the past grand slams, i was just shocked they boasted querry as their next hope at the U.S Open, because frankly, he is far from enough. I was dissapointed tat roddick lost to isner at u.s open as well.
