American Men’s Grand Slam Drought Ends? | Tulsa News

After a 20-year drought, American men’s tennis is on the brink of history at the U.S. Open, with Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton locked in a semifinal showdown that could end the longest major title gap since Andy Roddick’s 2003 win.

With the stage set and the stakes sky-high, America watches nervously — and hopefully, triumphantly — as its last hope for a major title returns home.
