It was more than two decades since an American men’s tennis player won a Grand Slam, but Andre Agassi believes that the drought could end soon.

Agassi and Andy Roddick took home a Grand Slam in 2003, but the United States has appeared empty -handed since then.

Since then, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have taken on sports and have rewritten the history books in the process. Pete Sampras won all 14 of his Grand Slams before these three even won their first.

Since then they have only blown from Sampras. Federer has 20, Nadal 22 and Djokovic 24.

“It is interesting. We have been spoiled in recent years. (John) Mcenroe, (Jimmy) Conners, Andy Roddick. But the truth is that there were three people who have been damn stupid in a recent interview with FOX News Digital in a recent interview with FOX News Digital.

Agassi stated that the United States have their share of stars. Taylor Fritz is occupied in fourth place; Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton are the 12th and 13th place. Frances Tiafoe is 16.; And Sebastian Korda is 23.

And Agassi believes that courts that are filled with American players could fuel other Americans to finally overcome the hump.

“One thing I can say from experience is that I needed Pete, and I needed Jim (Kurier). We helped the other that were possible. … I think these boys, if we look at these big stages and these big moments, I see you on the other side of the network, I think I belong here,” said Agassi.

“I hope that is the core we need. I think Ben Shelton has such a big upward trend. It’s great about tennis. They are gladiators and you have to find out day by day,” he said.

84 Grand slams have been played since 2004 (there was no Wimbledon in 2020), and the big three from Federer, Nadal and Djokovic won 65 of them. Of the remaining 19, 13, Andy Murray (three), Stan Wawrinka (three), Jannik Sünder (three) and Carlos Alcaraz (four) were won. Nobody else at this time has won more than one.

It has been nothing but the dominance of non-Americans since 2003, and sinners and Alcaraz have won each of the last five Grand Slams, but Agassi believes that a change will come soon.
