Open House, Day 4: Does America Crave American Tennis Champions?
Gerry Marzorati: Morning, Michael. You wrote perceptively yesterday about a irrefutable kind of Open goer, the guy or gal who revels in the midway — the neighbourhood to a spectacle, the feeling of being close enough to sports stars and boob tube broadcasts and a decent bar to sense fun, or even importance. I sat close to a odd sort of Open goer — those men and women look down one's nose at a seek for a next American men’s single’s sensation.Remarkably during Ryan Harrison’s victory , I sensed this yearning, one that I frankly don’t harbor. I think with Federer and Nadal, we are living in a flaxen age of men’s tennis, and that neither is an American matters not at all to me. But it clearly matters to a lot of people. What’s that about? Is it something you suffer, or can relate to? Do you think your love of tennis is diminished by the shortage of a Johnny Mac or Sampras or Agassi?
Michael Kimmelman: And after Roddick’s fizzle out last night , the last American to win a major, oh those many years ago in Flushing Meadows, is out yet again.
I’m with you on this one. I’ve never felt tennis was more or less absorbing depending on whether the best players were American, and this is an incredible era because of Federer and Nadal. But, living in Germany at the interest, where there’s a great tennis tradition but far less interest in watching the make a fool of than I would have imagined, I am constantly reminded how much national identity does argument to fans, and not just to Americans. That country had Becker, Graf and Stich; and notably when Becker was on top, Germans followed the sport, but now, although the country has a knot of good tour players, none has won a major, and so most Germans have tuned out. Try find some bar or restaurant in which to watch Wimbledon in Berlin. It’s next to impossible.
