The top 7 men's places are all Europeans, with only 4 non-Europeans (including Nishikori) in the top 20 - they're pretty good at this game that Euro mob!

I would like to know what has happened to men's tennis in Australia and America: why aren't those two former powerhouses of the game producing top players anymore?

@ Sarcasm - that's the million dollar question for Aussies too. We used to produce loads of talent, and historically dominate along with the Americans, but now can't keep up with the Europeans. Tennis has declined a lot since the days it was one of the top few sports in Aussie. At least we can still produce womens Major winners - but only one bloke in the top 30 - Tomic - and the kid is a train-wreck waiting to happen.
