In the highly professional sport of tennis, the presence of the United States has always been very strong, in addition to the event hosting one of the four Grand Slams, the US Open such a high-level event, Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati and a series of 1000 tournaments are not low.
Of course, it is not enough to hold events, and the development of a sport in China depends on the leading role of top players, especially the emergence of star players.
In terms of women, the currently serving players in the United States include a large number of familiar players such as Big Wei, Keys, Stephens, Kenning, Collins and Gauff, although some of them are not ranked high in real time, but their achievements in the past are unquestionable.
In contrast, in the impression of many fans, the American men's tennis player seems to have a low sense of existence for a long time, and the last American male player to be called a star should be Roddick.
Andy Roddick, who is a year younger than Federer, announced his retirement as early as the 2012 season, and he was once ranked no. 1 in the world, and he is currently the last player in the U.S. men's Tennis To win a Grand Slam singles title - he successfully won the US Open in 2003.
Turning professional in 1999 and announcing his retirement in 2012, Roddick's career was a bit short compared to his big brothers, with former champions such as Sampras and Agassi playing much longer than that.
It is even more regrettable that since Roddick's retirement, the American men's tennis world has not yet given birth to a new king. In the past, Isner, who is more than two meters tall, has played the role of a brother in the American men's tennis for a long time, and he is currently ranked eighth in the highest career ranking, which is still far from the top players.
In fact, Isner, who was born in 1985, is currently a 37-year-old ATP veteran.
However, entering the 2022 season, there are still many surprises in the US men's tennis world, and there are as many as 11 players currently ranked in the men's singles TOP100, they are:
No.17 Operka is 25 years old
No.19 Fritz 24 years old
No.22 Isner is 37 years old
No.30 Tiafour is 24 years old
No.37 Paul was 25 years old
No.38 Koda 22 years old
No.41 Brooksby is 21 years old
No.51 Geelong 29 years old
No.53 Macdonald is 27 years old
No.70 Cressy 25 years old
No.80 Mid-Island Brandon 21 years old
Among them, Opelka has achieved a good result of one championship and one runner-up this season, and is currently a brother of the US Open, and he and Fritz are also in the current year.
In addition, Paul, who beat Zverev Jr. in Indian Wells yesterday, is also worth looking forward to, in fact, in the past two meetings between the two he has maintained a record of total victory.
So who do you think will be the leader of the future Men's Tennis? (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
