No American Men in New ATP Tennis Top 10

August 7 — No American player will be listed in the ATP Tour rankings top 10 next week for the first time since the system began 37 years ago. When ninth-ranked Andy Roddick lost 6-3, 6-3 to Frenchman Gilles Simon in the third round of the ATP Washington Classic, it ensured that he would tumble out of the top 10.

An unbroken line of American legends began in September of 1973 with Stan Smith ranked fourth, Arthur Ashe ranked seventh and Jimmy Connors ranked 10th.

The banner for American men's tennis was carried high by Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Michael Chang and Jim Courier, among others, but for recent years has been held aloft mainly by Andy Roddick.
