It's no secret that we are in the midst of a rough patch for American men's tennis--certainly on the singles front. The trials and tribulations of the United States contingent are well-documented.

Donald Young and Jack Sock capped off an impressive first-round showing by American men at the Rogers Cup when they prevailed on Tuesday
In 2013, Roger Federer went back to clay to test out a new racket in between Wimbledon and the U.S. Open Series. This time around, however, there was no sign of the 17-time Grand Slam champion.
Maybe we should have taken the idea of Donald Young as the American #2 more seriously. Kevin Anderson will remain below the Top Twenty, but Young moves past Sam Querrey, Jack Sock, and Steve Johnson; he is on the brink of the Top Fifty.
A Wimbledon title can go a long way for a tennis player, even when it comes in a discipline that may not be his favorite. For Vasek Pospisil and Jack Sock, that is exactly what is happening.
