PARIS (AP) -There are plenty of theories about why U.S. men have so much trouble at the French Open, and James Blake offered his thoughts on the matter after losing in the first round Tuesday.

"For the Americans, a lot of times, this isn't our main goal of the year. Ours is generally Wimbledon and the U.S. Open,'' Blake said.

"I think if we were to try to prepare completely for the French Open, we would be giving away some of our advantage at the Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. That's where we excel. We'd rather, I think, prepare best for what our strengths are.''

This from the guy who lost 6-1, 6-0 in sets 4 and 5 to Max Mirnyi at Wimbledon a couple of years ago.

That's a valid excuse for Ivan Lendl, not James Blake
