Yeah what Brian said. It takes a lof of strength mentally and physically just to get to #1, and then an even stronger desire to stay there or at least close, and with the money these guys are getting these days, even desire loses out some times. There are some young guys and women who show potential to be that kind of player, but not the consistency to show that they are there. Its been far too long for an American male to reach that level of player, not sure how long that will take.
Injuries are a huge factor-its taking out Murray, and Nadal might not be too far behind.
