It's been 11 years since a male American win a slam.

The same thing might happen on the women's side after Serena retires.

Yep, unless Taylor Townsend loses her gut, or Sloane Stephens changes her horrible court attitude. Or perhaps if Madison Keys works on her consistency and loses her ball basher game plan. I don't see either of these things happening though. The Williams sisters need to retire and get pregnant as quickly as possible to give the US some more tennis talent.

When was the last time a male US player won a slam?

US Open 2003. Andy Roddick

edit: beaten, but I wouldn't have been beaten if I didn't have to wait a minute between my last post in another topic!

It should have been 2009 Wimbledon.

It should have been 2009 Wimbledon.

It was his last chance, but that tie break on 2nd set destroyed him.

 

[Niraj]

Don't throw shade at the king of American tennis.

There are no kings, merely court jesters.

 

[BigJonsson]

wow, 3rd and 9th seeds out in the first round

Hope Raonic makes it the quarters

 

[KeRaSh]

That Djoker video. What a cool guy.
Watching Na Li during my lunch break.

You bring bad luck for her

The upset is real...

 

[Peru]

Well hypes are choking left and right on the big stage - Dimitrov flames out to Servebotovic. Straight sets.

 

[scarlet]

Wow, both AO champions lost in the 1st round

 

[Saty]

Women's Bottom half opened up. Players there have a great opportunity with Li out and not facing Serena\Maria\Aga until a potential final.

It will be Halep

 

[John Dunbar]

must be a nightmare to play karlovic to someone who is such a terrible returner.

i suppose even a good returner doesn't like it that much.

 

[leng jai]

Dimitrov losing to Dr. Ivo on clay - you literally can't come up with a more hilarious result.

Djokovic again, lol xD

Amazing. I love how most current top players are likeable.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Dimitrov and Tomic are pathetic. This generation sucks.

Both ATP & WTA

I think Bencic and Tomljanovic and Eugenie with her Nike back doping regimen will be successful. I have no hope for Tomic, Dimitrov, Raonic, Janowicz or whoever to ever win a slams.

when you're lucky enough to be part of a generation this dreadful, one of them is bound to sneak through the cracks eventually and win a slam. once the real tennis players have declined and retired, that is.

 

[FortuneFaded]

It might be a kiss of death, but Murray looks good. He's got to the quarter finals in his last 11 slams and with Wawrinka out of his quarter of the draw, it looks promising. A potential match up with Gasquest in the 4th round should be a good test. The biggest seed he can face in the quarters is Fognini who he lost in the Davis cup but he's beatable.

 

[John Dunbar]

murray has been strange this clay season. often plays a great first set and then vanishes. let's see if he does it again.

 

[chuckddd]

So Wozniacki was holding down McIlroy. Do not date that woman!

Spoiler

I'd date that woman.

Another year, another Fed train destined for a stop at Nadal station.

You're saying that Federer will beat Novak?

Monfils can dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO3IQtW8Dlc

 

[John Dunbar]

semis will be federer-djokovic and ferrer-fognini.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Crazy to see Wozniacki get rolled in the 3rd set. Wickmayer played really well

 

[IISANDERII]

Wow I like this Madison Keys. Sexy with as much power as Shaparova but without any need to screatch like an idiot.

I like her service motion too, rare to see the platform stance in the women's game.

She won't admit to it, but we all know Rory is still weighing on her mind. The abrupt call-off to the wedding took a major emotional toll on her. Rory won the European championship last weekend so he's not bothered at all.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Where are all the female British players? Is Laura Robson in the draw?

edit: Heather Watson is still in, but she's about to get Halep'd

 

[scarlet]

Keothavong retired
Baltacha died
Robson injured
Konta lost in the last round of qualifying
In Watson we trust.

I like the follow up question, "What happened?", as if Mahut is going to describe the entire match to someone who didn't watch any of it.

 

[Nemo]

Li Na nooooo

 

[IISANDERII]

Thiem handled Mathieu in straight sets. Don't think he has a prayer vs Rafa but I'd like to see if this is the future of tennis.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Annoyed that Li Na went home so early.

 

[LuuKyK]

Not surprised Error Na went home early she was awful here last year and has had some random loses and almost-loses this year like against Errani and Safarova.

Wow I like this Madison Keys. Sexy with as much power as Shaparova but without any need to screatch like an idiot.

I like her service motion too, rare to see the platform stance in the women's game.

Comparing the sexyness of Sharapova and Keys is certainly... Something I would never expect to read. Lol to each its own I guess.

The two pretties are battling it out right now :
Eugenie Bouchard just took over the second set after losing the first to Goerges !

 

[Faith]

Youzhny and Gulbis getting trashed.

 

[John Dunbar]

Youzhny and Gulbis getting trashed.

Gulbis? I think you mean Paire. Gulbis is routining Bagnis.

Gulbis has really been in form lately. Possible Gulbis-Federer in the fourth round might be interesting.

And Venus is tanking so she doesn't have to play Serena.

 

[LuuKyK]

Venus being routined by this Schmiedlova girl, or whatever she is called. lol Her game has fallen so much. Not that I didnt expect it to happen eventually considering her illness and everything, but still.

Eugenie Bouchard just took over the second set after losing the first to Goerges !

Such a, ahem, pretty match that was.

So glad Genie won. Keep going!

 

[Faith]

Eeeh I mean Simon G.

 

[Peru]

Feels like Larsson is a bit of a slam player, never see her elsewhere.

 

[LuuKyK]

Venus saving two match points and her mom is sleeping. lmao

Oracene can see the future

You misread. I said Keys was sexy but in the next part of the sentence I compared Keys' power with Shaparova.
