Let's face it, American players of the last 5 years or so haven't done shit, all they're good at is underachieving and making excuses. Blake's only value on the pro tour is for a few entertaining matches at the US Open every year, where he's destined to get bounced somewhere around the 4th round. Gotta wonder if there are any upcoming American players who are serious about becoming skilled on all surfaces, or if we're destined for another generation of lazy "hard-court specialists"
