American men's tennis has been experiencing a resurgence lately, thanks to the rise of Ben Shelton, as well as the notable progress of Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, and Frances Tiafoe.

This week in Toronto, three U.S.-born players have reached the quarterfinals: Fritz, Shelton, and Alex Michelsen. This achievement hadn’t happened in a Masters 1000 since Indian Wells in 2004, when Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, and James Blake made their mark.

Additionally, Fritz yesterday became the first non-European player to reach the quarterfinals of every Masters 1000 tournament on the calendar.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
