Why are there no great American tennis players anymore?
Why are there no great American tennis players anymore?
It's a rich kid sport. Rich kids are overwhelmingly nonathletic and have zero hunger to be great because they already have money.
We're living in the greatest period in the history of the men's game. The three guys dominating just happen to be Swiss, Spanish and Serbian. It's hard for anyone to break through, regardless of nationality. Besides, tennis is an individual sport. Agassi and Sampras weren't great American tennis players. They were great tennis players who just happened to be American.
This comment and this thread are a reason I can respect a Brit, and detest an American.
Only a few players make like 80% of total prize money awarded to buy the best doctors and facilities also the USTA is shit mostly because of McEnroe's brother who ran it into the ground
talent americans pick up other sports
imagine if mahomes or kawhi played tennis, they would end the GOAT debate
there are no more white people there
and its not a rich kid sport in europe? Where their athletes dominate men's tennis? Federer seems like a pretty posh guy doubt he was a poverty fuck growing up
You took the bench press and serve pill
Very foolish
Rugby is a rich kid sport here and we're top 3 in the world
