Is any American man really upset when they lose on clay? Is any American man really upset with the scheduling of tournaments when they take the whole spring off? Something about spending the spring in Europe as a 20 something year old just doesn't seem to be a bad thing to me. WTF is wrong with USTA regarding this? I say if you don't make an effort in the spring(monaco,barc. madr. rome), you're not allowed any appearance fee money the rest of the year.
