Well...if you learned on clay court, then you know that the bounces and timing is vastly different than hard court. Americans are trained and develop their games predominantly on hard court, thus their footwork and timing is geared specifically to that surface. Clay is a very unique surface in respect to that. Also, you rarely find clay courts in the US (even though the US Open was played on clay for three years). It's a systemic and development issue.

However, notice that predominantly clay court specialists have difficulty dominating on any other surface. Again, their reflexes are attuned to that surface. Guys like Kuerten, Moya and others were dominant on that surface, but that dominance didn't carry over to other surfaces. An issue though, for American tennis, is that some foreign players (French, Spanish and Latin America) are moving away being specialists and training and developing their games on multiple courts.

Grass is easy for hard-courters to transition to, but not for clay courters, because their style is easily adapted to it. The clay and grass is diametrically opposed (in terms of ball reaction), but hard-court and grass have similarities. Grass just ends up being quicker and slicker.

Players like Agassi, Lendl, Becker, Borg and Federer (when he wins a French) are rarities in the game; all-court dominant. Nadal is showing signs of developing an all-court game and I wouldn't be surprised to see him take a hard-court slam, Wimbledon would be a shock though.

Oh, the other reason the guys sucked on this year? No talent. American men's tennis is in a down cycle right now.

Oh, believe me, I know the difference between the surfaces. I'm a player, myself. And that is precisely why I threw in the "I know that the preference in the U.S if overwhelmingly for hard courts", to paraphrase...still, STILL, you'd think the disparity wouldn't be that bad.

complete my HEB list of things I need to get for the "moving/game 2" GTG extravaganza i'm throwing.

I've been invited to see the Roland Garros finals!

I will be in Paris for games one and two.

Yah I figured as much, I was just bored.

I have an uncle who is the head coach of a major tennis university, and basically he said US players just don't like clay. My personal theory relates to the preferred style taught in the US: baseline with a preference for huge amounts of top-spin. Top-spin gets killed on clay.

But, I really think the disparity is so big now because the US men's tennis is incredibly talent weak. In the last generation, the US had guys like Chang, Agassi, Courier and even Sampras (who won a couple of upper-tier clay tournaments) who had the ability to adapt. Who do they have now? Roddick? Yeah right.
