News about Chris Woodruff

As Tommy Paul finished off Roberto Bautista Agut with a fortuitous net cord on Monday, it was the first time three American men - Paul, Ben Shelton and Sebastian Korda - reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open for the first time in 23 years. Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, and Chris Woodruff, the University of Tennessee's new head coach, were the last three people to do so. American tennis has risen out of the slump that has existed since Andy Roddick's 2003 US Open win, and the best barometer of achievement comes in the form of Jonathan Pearson's updated ATP rankings on Monday. They will have ten American men among the world's best 50. The United States will have 20 percent of the world's top 50 percent. Big things are happening.
