PARIS — It will take some time for Frances Tiafoe to process what happened to him at the French Open on Monday night, to deal with the physical pain of almost 5½ hours on court and the mental anguish of letting slip a two sets to one and 4-1 lead before losing to Matteo Arnaldi of Italy.
On a Sunday afternoon set up for Ben Shelton to play national hero, the US Open final debutant suffered a four-set defeat to Alexander Zverev, a result that deflated the partisans at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The match compounded Shelton’s miserable head-to-head record against the German, who claimed a second career Grand Slam title without having to face final bosses Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz. The defeat also extended a long drought – the last win by an American man at a Grand Slam was Andy Roddick at the 2003 US Open, when Shelton was still a month off his first birthday.

For 23 years they have come and gone. Andy Roddick tried again. Andre Agassi made one final run. James Blake, Mardy Fish, Sam Querrey, John Isner, Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz all carried the hopes of American men’s tennis deep into the second week of major championships, only to thrash against the ceiling of the sport’s European hegemony time and again.
