Andy Roddick is a name every American remembers fondly. Roddick was the last individual after Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi to win a Grand Slam from the USA. However, recent performances of American stars have given hope to the country. Frances Tiafoe, Sebastian Korda  Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, and Tommy Paul have been slowly climbing up the ladder. In fact, Taylor Fritz recently reached the top five, the only American male to do it since Andy Roddick in 2009. However, not all agree with the ranking given by the officials.

Taylor Fritz has received the official ranking from ATP. The organization caused a blunder for Fritz last year. A glitch in the system caused him to get bumped up to eighth place instead of thirteenth after winning Indian Wells.
