Tennis U.S. EXCELLING AT WIMBLEDON »

It’s been quite a productive — and rare — start to Wimbledon for Brandon Nakashima, Taylor Fritz, Jenson Brooksby and other American men: There will be eight of them in the third round, accounting for a quarter of the 32 players left in the field, the most for the country at the grasscourt Grand Slam tournament since 1995. It’s also the most at any major since the 1996 U.S. Open.

And so, in some ways, it’s been quite a start for the U.S. Tennis Association and Martin Blackman, the general manager of USTA Player Development.

“It was fun. It was really fun. I was bouncing around,” Blackman said during an evening rain delay, before heading back out to watch 18-year-old American Coco Gauff beat Mihaela Buzarnescu 6-2, 6-3 on Centre Court.
