There are a couple of American up-and-comers like Isner and Quarrey, but part of the problem for American players, I think, is that you have to be ready by the pros by your late teens, and I'm not sure the American culture supports that kind of dedication at such an early stage (esp because it's more like mid 20s when you really hit the big time). I recently saw and Agassi bio on tennis channel, and they showed Agassi and Sampras first met as competitive tennis foes at age 7 or 8. 7 or 8!? Mercy. Perhaps Federer leaks into the American consciousness a little given his affiliation with Tiger Woods. They have done commercials together and have been compared in many ways. Unfortunately, that's no longer such a great way to be compared. At least we have the Williams sisters to dominate. Unfortunately for me, I don't enjoy them. |
