Men from the United States once ruled tennis with an iron grip. Between 1974 and 2003, American males accounted for 46 Grand Slam wins, dwarfing all other nations. But like most dynasties in history, they lost control of their throne and were toppled by players from other countries. The forecast looked great during the 1970s and 1980s, which were led by the equally volatile and boisterous John...
