The American men set a ground breaking record this year at the French Open. They collectively went 0-9 in the first round in turn making this the first time in the Open era an American couldn’t make the second round of the French Open. I know clay gives us fits and the days of Jim Courier, Andre Agassi and Michael Chang are long gone, but this is embarassing. I included the full list of players below so feel free to throw rotten tomatoes or cabbage if the urge hits you.

No. 3-seeded Andy Roddick
No. 8 James Blake
Robby Ginepri
Vince Spadea
Justin Gimelstob
Amer Delic
Robert Kendrick
Sam Querrey
Michael Russell
