Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick hold a special place in American tennis history. 

They both won a Grand Slam in 2003 – Agassi had just won the eighth championship of his career at the Australian Open, which was his fourth title there, and Roddick had won his sole Grand Slam singles title at the U.S. Open.

More than 20 years later, those two tournaments still stand as the last time an American won a men’s singles Grand Slam title.

However, a new era of tennis players is hoping to change that, and Agassi believes that we are on the cusp of a revitalization of American tennis, and that the U.S. Open could be where we see a breakthrough. 

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Agassi agreed that the current top ranked American men’s tennis players are primed for a Grand Slam championship.

"I believe this generation of players with their assets - Tommy Paul's speed, [Sebastian] Korda’s ball striking and effortless power, you’ve got [Frances] Tiafoe’s dynamics and ability and athleticism to play off the crowd and use that momentum, [Taylor] Fritz with the way he hits the tennis ball… [Ben Shelton] is that college spirit that loves that environment and the energy of the crowd."
