The fact that this question has been brought up shows how bad the state of US tennis is right now. Roddick and Sampras shouldn't even be considered in the same class as players. If Roddick is close to overtaking a record held by any other American, US tennis has gone down the crapper!

Roddick has no competition.

Sampras had Courier, Chang, Agassi, etc. who all won majors.

You cannot be serious?!

Agreed. Roddick is a guy thats tough to root for also. All the whining he does towards the line judges and barkng at the ball boys when things arent going his way really gets old. He acts like hes doing the reporters a favor when he actually looks up at them in their press conferences also. No comparison to USA players of today to those in the eras of the past.
