Despite a rough week for U S tennis at Wimbledon, there still a good chance for an all-American final.

No U.S. men Monday’s fourth part round, but the Williams sisters swept their leading matches without dropping a set. And upsets that No. 1-categorized Ana Ivanovic and No. 2 Maria Sharapova perfected the likelihood of the essential Serena-vs.-Venus final at a Grand Slam tournament since Wimbledon in 2003.

The were to play their round-of-16 matches back-to-back Monday on Court 2 - nicknamed the “Graveyard of Champions” for its record of upsets. The also were timetabled to play doubles together on the same law court.

Between them, Venus and Serena have won six of the last eight womanhood’s singles at Wimbledon. Defending title holder Venus is a four-time winner, and Serena is a two-time title holder. They’re in opposite halves of the draw and meet in the final Saturday.

Venus was to play 18-year-old Alisa Kleybanova on Monday, with Serena following against Bethany Mattek, the only another lingering American.

Five-time campaigner Roger Federer was to play his quarter consecutive pair on Centre Court against 2002 winner Lleyton Hewitt, the only new anterior guardian to enter the men’s draw.

No. 2-classified Rafael Nadal, who has helped his country cure its longtime dislike to lawn tennis, was one of three Spanish men Monday.

Switzerland, France, Russia and Croatia had two players separately among the final 16. Britain - which last won the gentlemen’s name in 1936 - innovative one man to the next week, as did Australia, Germany, Serbia and even the island of Cyprus.

The United States? None.

The residents that Andre Agassi, Don Budge, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras and Bill Tilden itself in a collective collapse. And there’s no sign of a turnaround.

“We’ve been struggling for a long time, and it has just gotten worse,” said Gene Mayer, a previous top-five thespian who coaches secretly in New York. “We just are no .”

For the fundamental time since 1926, only one U.S. male - No. 102-graded Bobby Reynolds - the round at Wimbledon. He lost Friday.

The problematic isn’t snitch. At last year’s French Open, American men went 0-9, their nastiest showing on the Roland Garros clay in at least 40 an inordinate length of time. The last U.S. male to win a main ownership was Andy Roddick at the U.S. Open in 2003.

The deficiency is less noticeable on the females’s side only because of the Williams sisters, who have combined for 14 chief titles.

American men went 5-12 at Wimbledon. Eight lost in the opening round, including Olympians Sam Querrey and Robby Ginepri. Andy Roddick and James Blake lost in the succeeding round.

Poor Reynolds, over the moon to uniform his best Grand Slam grade at age 25, was left to explicate why U.S. fortunes continue to regression.

“Obviously around the biosphere tennis is a huge sport, and perchance it’s not No. 1 over in the States,” he said. “In the States you have basketball, , bone of contention, golf. You have so many avenues that ancestors can try out. I think that capacity have something to do with it.”

But tennis has always been well down the list of the most common sports in the United States. What has changed is the way kids find out the game, with the most talented youngsters over and over again existence steered at an speedy age toward a tennis military institute.

Mayer said the grass-stock tutoring of earlier eras produced better results.

“It was property running in exhaustive settings with players,” he said. “Now all and sundry goes to academies so young, and you for no reason ascertain to play tennis. You don’t study at age 7, 8, 9, 10 in a quintet locale with 200 kids. You discover it one-on-one with a coach.”

While extension flounders in the United States, whitecaps of talented youngsters keep surfacing in Europe, Asia and South America. Ricardo Acuna, a countrywide coach for the U.S. Tennis Association, said Americans are endearing less because the game has gone more comprehensive.

“More than it’s a scarcity, it’s that the creation got better,” said Acuna, a Chilean who ranked in the top 50 in the mid-1980s.

“When I initial started playing, 50 percent of the draw was Americans, and then there was the rest of us - South Americans or Europeans. But now it’s the additional way around, expressly with like France and Spain, and then you have the lesser countries too that have a lot of good .

“Tennis is the biggest sport or the following-best sport in those . In the U.S. it’s most likely like the 30th sport behind many others.”

Roger Federer continues his pursuit for a straight Wimbledon label on Monday. When he on 20th-seed Lleyton Hewitt of Australia in a fourth part-round game.

Still, with a triumph over Hewitt, Federer will scope a 17th succeeding Grand Slam game. The last time he failed to range the round of eight in a foremost was in 2004 at the French Open, when he lost to Gustavo Kuerten in the round.

Hewitt, the only extra vigorous trouper in the domain with a Wimbledon championship, has dropped his last 11 matches against Federer, including a semifinal loss here in 2005. The Aussie won his Wimbledon brow in 2002, the year before Federer started his run.

After Wimbledons old day off on the principal Sunday of the event, the original four of eight twenty-five percent-round are set for Monday. No. 10 seed Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus faces No. 31 Feliciano Lopez of Spain, No. 13 Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland takes on Marat Safin of Russia and No. 22 Fernando Verdasco of Spain unseeded Croat Mario Ancic.

With Wawrinka joining Federer, his countrymate, in the quarter round, Switzerland has two in the ending 16 at Wimbledon for the basic time in the open era. Wawrinka and Federer are the only players not to lose a set here, although the earlier has one fewer set due to a retirement.

The 23-year-old Wawrinka is to reach the of a major for the head time in his livelihood. He later to the fourth round of the U.S. Open last, behind a five-set equivalent to Juan Ignacio Chela.

If Wawrinka disarming, he be matched up with Federer in the semifinals. The Baghdatis-Lopez survivor the Wawrinka-Safin champ in the quarterfinals.

If Federer gets past Hewitt, he would take on either Verdasco or Ancic in the next round in the top of the draw.
