Americans continue to disappoint in professional tennis. Shocking.

American men were having a great first round until the Trumper went down*

They tend to do well in the early rounds, but I'm talking about the actual title contenders.

Fritz played well, but we'll see how legit his chances are. Tiafoe has zero chance to win this thing.

I guess Tien could surprise and make a deep run.

Shelton is the only one with championship upside

Fritz has maybe semifinal upside. Maybe

I'm not sure I even agree with this anymore.

Until he learns a halfway decent, somewhat professional looking backhand...not to mention something of an overall tennis game...the only way Shelton can win a Slam is with his serve.

His game is exactly like Goran Ivanisevic from 25+ years ago. A big dude with a massive serve but a very average ground game coming in behind it.

Unfortunately that's just not gonna be enough IMO.

I agree with that. But the talent is there

not sure how dedicated he is to making his game more complete. Seems like he could be the type that flexes in the mirror but it’s ultimately all superficial
