The main reason American men struggle on clay is their limited exposure to the surface during formative years. Sam Querrey stepped onto red clay at 17 with little preparation, a factor that echoed throughout his career.
Chris Eubanks made his first competitive clay appearance at 22, qualifying for Roland Garros in 2018 but faced a short preparation window. To address the gap, the U.
S. tennis federation is increasing clay‑court sessions and providing specialized coaching for upcoming players.
Participation in European and South American clay tournaments is also being encouraged. Over time, these initiatives aim to raise the clay‑court performance of American men.
