US men likely to wander Wimbledon wilderness once again, says tennis great McEnroe
27 June 2019
Normally US tennis fans would hold out hope that 34-year-old John Isner, who reached the semi-finals 12 months ago and is this year's ninth seed, could break through and capture his maiden major title. McEnroe said the situation would improve as up-and-comers like 21-year-old Taylor Fritz gained experience but for now the stranglehold that veterans Federer, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic have on the sport would likely continue.Despite being a country of nearly 330 million people, American men have not been much of a factor in tennis since the retirements of 14-times Grand Slam champion Pete Sampras in 2003 and eight-times major winner Andre Agassi in 2006.
