If you need any more evidence that the U.S. Tennis has lost its supremacy in the world, here's one more. Both Venus Williams and Andy Roddick have dropped in the latest world rankings which were released earlier this week. Both were ranked number one in the past.
Williams won Wimbledon in 2000 and 2001. She was eliminated in the early rounds at this year's Wimbledon tournament, which resulted in her plunge from number 12 to 23.
Her sister, Serena, who has been out of competition most of this year due to injury, is now ranked 140th. Fellow Americans Mary Pierce and Lindsay Davenport are ranked number 9 and 10 respectively.
Roddick has simply not played up to his potential in recent years. After his early exit from Wimbledon last week, he dropped from fifth to 11th.
