In the world map of tennis, the United States seems to have always played a strong role, whether it is tennis tournaments or professional tennis players have a huge number.
In terms of women's players, the United States has 17 TOP100 players such as Kenning, Serena Williams, Brady, Case, Rich, Pegura, Anisimova, Gauff, Collins, Rogers, Stephens, Ann Lee, Anderra and so on.
However, among the men's players, the current men's single Brother Fritz of the United States is only ranked 30th in the world, after Isner, who has been in the United States for a long time, has slipped to 38th in the world ranking after deducting the huge points of the 2019 Miami runner-up.
Born on April 26, 1985, Isner is known for his strong serves, and with a height of 208cm, his serve is rock solid and his forehand slash attack is quite sharp.
Officially moving into the professional arena in 2007, Isner became the top-ranked U.S. player for the first time in 2012, when he beat then-world Number One Djokovic in the Indian Wells semifinals to reach the Masters final for the first time.
Beginning with the 2012 season, Isner was the highest-ranked U.S. player at the end of the year almost every year, only to be overtaken by Sok in 2017 (who was eighth at the end of the year that year).
However, as a brother in the United States, Isner has not crossed the tenth place in the year-end ranking in the past decade:
2012 – No. 14
2013 – No. 14
2014 – No. 19
2015 – No. 11
2016 – No. 19
2018 – No. 10
2019 – No. 18
2020 – No. 25
So who is the most recent world king of the United States? That goes back to December 2003, when Andy Roddick ascended to the world's first throne after becoming the king of the US Open.
However, he only stayed in the top position for 12 weeks before being replaced by Federer in February of the following year.
As the last player in the United States to win a Grand Slam men's singles title to date, Roddick has won a total of 32 singles titles in his career, and he officially announced his retirement in September 2012.
In addition to Roddick, I believe that most fans' memories of the American king are still stuck in the era of Agassi and Sampras, as the two most charismatic legends in the world tennis world in the 1990s, the showdown between them is a classic.
Born in 1970, Agassi first ascended to the throne in April 1995 and became at-the-year world number one at ATP for the first time in 1999.
Having won eight Grand Slam titles in his career, he sat in the world number one position for 101 weeks, and Agassi is best known for his Golden Slam achievements.
Born in 1971, Sampras first became the world number one in men's singles in 1993, accumulating a staggering 286 weeks. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
