It happens quite often in tennis, the young stud in juniors who is labeled as the next big thing to hit the ATP tour. Sometimes, they pan out but not often. Most likely, the youngster gets to the tour with too big a head or is overwhelmed. They may go on to have decent careers but are nothing special. There have been quite a few guys over the past decade who fit this bill. It’s really hard...

Roger Federer‘s career is set in the history books of tennis. Nearly 800 career wins, 67 titles, 23 Major finals, 16 Major titles and 237 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the world will do that for you.

The past decade at the French Open has probably been the worst American tennis has ever seen. The last winner of the event was Serena Williams in 2002 (also last to reach a semifinal in 2008). The last man to win was Andrei Agassi in 1999, which happens to be the last time an American man reached the semifinals. So this year is when the Americans break out of their slump, right? No Chance! So why will...

The clay court season has officially begun this week with the start of the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters. When looking at the men’s singles draw there is a glaring absence: Where are the Americans? Not one American man is entered in the field, and you can’t really blame them. The last American to win a masters series title on the dirt was Andre Agassi at the Rome Masters in 2002. Agassi is...
