Not a joke: American tennis sinks deeper

I came to the realization today, of course on April 1st, that the #2 ranked American IN THE WORLD in men's tennis has three career ATP tour wins. Not titles, TOTAL WINS. And he only has a single one this year through the first three months of the season. Unfortunately, that is not a joke. That person is Bradley Klahn.

Granted Serena won the singles title in Miami and the Bryan brothers won doubles, but this blog focuses on men's singles and we're sinking further into the abyss at that exercise. After Miami the rankings look like this:


10. John Isner
65. Bradley Klahn
71. Donald Young
74. Sam Querrey
92. Jack Sock
98. Steve Johnson
102. Tim Smyczek
106. Michael Russell
112. Denis Kudla
114. Ryan Harrison
123. Alex Kuznetsov
131. Rajeev Ram
142. Wayne Odesnik
155. Rhyne Williams

That's everyone we have in the top 200. 14 guys, only 6 of which are in the top 100. Having Isner in the top 10 is a great thing, but some of these guys behind him have to start making noise. Real noise. Someone, anyone.

But there's more bad news. We've just gone through the American hard court swing of the early part of the year. Now we're headed to the clay court season, a period where we typically see Americans go dormant. So the rankings could easily get worse before the summer.

  1. I feel so blessed again in my marriage after Doctor Oku brought back my husband that separated with me for good 3 mounths. Am Jessica Butler by name from USA. Even though i have mouths all over my body, it won't be enough to thank Doctor Oku for his help upon my life. My husband separated with me for the 3 months and have been in pains and agony without him. So, i searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out not until i meant Doctor Oku who i contacted online. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 24 to 48 hours as far that my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when Doctor Oku said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months.
