There currently are 14 American junior tennis players ranked in top 100 which is amazing when considering some other powers such as Spain with 7 only players in. But comparing the size of the US to EU which has 55 of their individual nations' teenagers ranked in top 100 would be fair more likely. Yet, I believe the US is about to have a blast in the top 100 ATP rankings within next 5 years from now as their top 100 juniors are awesome and clearly very well taken care of. What do you think?

Best European athletes go to football then tennis probably.
Best American athletes go to basketball, American football, baseball, then maybe football/tennis/hockey/swimming divide the rest.
I don't think much will change in America. The virtuous cycle didn't sustain itself off the success of McEnroe, Connors, Sampras, and Agassi. They might get a slam champ and their typical 10 or so in the top 100 ATP players, but I doubt we'll see an influx of 25+ Americans in the top 100.
