美国网球已走下坡路。无论是从戴维斯杯比赛、温布尔顿锦标赛来看,还是从电子计算机排列的优秀选手名次表和个人现金收入来看,美国人都已经不是过去的那个样子了。这就是美国网球当前现状。美国代表队在今年的戴维斯杯比赛中败给了联邦德国队,被淘汰出1988年的决赛圈。而且,美国队参加1989年的比赛,必须从地区级打起。在去年的美国公开赛中,争夺男、女单打冠军的4名选手全部是出生在捷克斯洛伐克。获得男子双打和男女混合双打冠军的也都不是美国人。只有获得女子双打冠军的纳弗拉蒂洛娃和施里弗是美国人。但是纳弗拉蒂洛娃是出生在捷克斯洛伐克,后来入籍美国。美国公开赛、法国公开赛、澳大利亚公开赛和温 American tennis has been declining. Whether it’s from the Davis Cup, the Wimbledon Championships, or the top-notch computer rankings and personal cash receipts, Americans are no longer the kind they used to be. This is the current status of American tennis. The U.S. team lost to the Federal Republic of Germany in this year’s Davis Cup and was eliminated from the 1988 finals. Moreover, the United States team to participate in the 1989 competition, must play from the regional level. At last year’s US Open, all four players competing for the men’s and women’s singles titles were all born in Czechoslovakia. It is not American either to get men’s doubles titles or men’s and women’s mixed doubles titles. Only women’s doubles champion Navratilova and Schreiber are Americans. But Navrattilova was born in Czechoslovakia and later became a naturalized American. US Open, French Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon
