Betting on USA tennis. What problems american players face today
The more I watch the matches with the American players the stronger is my feeling that they all resemble one another. It all looks like a plant cranking out products of the same quality and with the same spoilage. And this trend holds true for the last 4-5 years. Americans should definitely reconsider their existing approach to the training of young sportsmen, otherwise, in the nearest future they will not be able to breed up any competitive tennis player as the current system and philosophy of coaching do not correspond to the modern requirements.
Probably, the last worthwhile product of the American tennis is Mardy Fish. I don’t take John Isner into account, as he is more a unique player with a booming serve providing him with an opportunity to gain excellent results and compensating for his drawbacks, which are quite numerous, by the way. Mardy Fish, on the contrary, is a really well-balanced athlete with no evident weak sides. And his results prove it.
All of the above mentioned players have one significant disadvantage – a very poor backhand. It’s very tough to get even in the top 40 with such backhand strokes. Moreover, this disadvantage becomes very visible during the game. The yesterday’s match between Johnson and Bautista revealed the superiority of the new school over the old one. Steve Johnson could do nothing to beat the Spanish player in long rallies. Due to the unreliable and weak backhand, Johnson had to give it up to Bautista when backhands exchange and so the Spaniard could dictate his rules. When Steve tried his best using a powerful forehand he became more vulnerable to the counterattacks of Bautista, as by hitting the runaround forehand the American player opened a wide corridor for Bautista to hit along the lines and the Spaniard didn’t miss such opportunities.
By the way, the problems with backhand have deep roots in America. The legends of the latest past, Roddick and Blake, are also known to have troubles with backhand and the two failed to play to the at least 80% of their potential. What is different about this all is that the average level of tennis has greatly increased since then.

From the moment he appeared on courts, Kei Nishikori has always been one of 5 or 6 super talented promising players.

LOL the technique that is tghuat today is nothing like the technique of the wooden racquet era ! For instance the 1 handed back hand was a slice or flat stroke with no low to high swing so you can use the weight to its advantage. Todays technique 1 handed back hand is nothing like that So it is wrong to thick a heavy racquet of any material is good for kids to learn technique. Because todays technique requires more strength.
