No American male has won a Grand Slam event in two decades, but there still are multiple potential candidates with a chance to capture this year’s U.S. Open title — and to become the country’s first major champion since Andy Roddick hoisted the trophy in Flushing in 2003.
Shelton, the 47th-ranked player in the world, started off the day’s massive slate by advancing to a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the second time this year with an overpowering 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 victory over No. 14 seed and fellow American Tommy Paul on Ashe. This year’s tournament already marked the first time since 2011 that four American men reached the Open’s fourth round. The US-produced quartet that year consisted of Roddick, Mardy Fish, John Isner, and Donald Young.After Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal dominated the Grand Slam scene for the past two decades, maybe it’s finally time for an American male to break through and win for the first time since Roddick 20 years ago, the lone major victory of his career.
Paul broke early and took a quick 3-0 lead Sunday, but the lefty Shelton won six of seven games to grab the first set, closing it out with an ace.
