for decades American tennis ruled the world

they had the champions.... they had the legends...

they had the names... and then one man changed everything

andando en casa entonces tienes Como esos puntos

what nobody knew was that the young Swiss

he buried every American name that dared to rise

and he turned the last American Grand Slam champion

but
how does one man change the fate of an entire nation

the greatest player the sport had ever seen

a skinny 19 year old Swiss kid named Roger Federer

Sampras would never win another Wimbledon title

in fact they would never even play each other again

most people thought it was just one random upset

was that Federer hadn't just beaten Pete Sampras

he had started something far more dangerous a curse

and at first the story looked completely different

people forget that Roger was just a straight serve

he played me at the open just serve volleying

a lot of people thought that was Federer's limit

from that moment on the balance never came back

even on American soil even at the US Open

in brutal wind where every point felt unpredictable

five straight wins and even Agassi could feel it

Roger was the first guy I ever played against

where I could hit a ball exactly how I wanted

the last reel shot for the old American guard

that Fortnite and suddenly he had done it

became the oldest man to reach a Grand Slam final

jaw dropping numbers but numbers don't play the final

he's from America this is it at the US Open

How Roger Federer Crushed America’s Tennis
