Madison Keys and Coco Gauff have sparked hopes for an "American slam" in tennis this year, building on their impressive performances at major events. Keys claimed her first Grand Slam trophy at the Australian Open, while Gauff's recent triumph at the French Open has energized American tennis fans.

Though American women have shown dominance on the global stage, the men's side faces challenges. The last American male to win a singles Grand Slam was Andy Roddick in 2003. Wimbledon this year has seen 45 American participants, with notable names like Taylor Fritz, yet no major wins since Roddick.

Fritz narrowly escaped a first-round defeat, highlighting the pressure American men face. Despite setbacks, players like Fritz and Frances Tiafoe are eager to prove their potential. On the women's side, impressive performances from Amanda Anisimova and Madison Keys underscore American women's continued success in tennis.
