It’s been a long time since top American won his 2003 US Open title to become a Grand Slam champion. And without Roddick hopes are slim any other American man will step in the forefront and win a major.

So with Roddick the real lone Slam threat, will Roddick ever win another one? He can close against Roger Federer at Wimbledon, but was that his last best shot?

We all know Andy Roddick is the king of American tennis, but with James Blake on the decline who will step up and challenge Roddick for the throne? Perhaps it will be Blake in the end, or maybe someone else like the improving Sam Querrey, the dangerous John Isner or the mercurial Mardy Fish.

Kim Clijsters is riding  a seven-match Slam win streak following her US Open title in September and she’s made it clear that she’s going to be a threat in 2010.

But Justine Henin’s always had the edge on the field, and given a full year and a healthy body she may resume the domination she had when she left the game.
