Did they only now just wake up and realize that about 1/3 of the season is played on dirt?

Sam Q winning Belgrade made some headlines, but it's pretty much a given that US players aren't considered among the faves at RG - and yet we are really only one generation removed from an era when 3 different US men won the French. And a mere few years out from Jen Cap and Serena taking the title there as well.

Nice to see the USTA finally doing something to put a little focus on clay season. There's a lot more effort needed, however.
