KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) - Patrick McEnroe took on a new job Wednesday: saving U.S. tennis.
The Davis Cup captain and former top-30 player was hired to oversee player development for the U.S. Tennis Association. The goal is to reverse the recent decline in American fortunes on the men's and women's tours.
"The world has caught up in some ways. But that's OK," McEnroe said. "My job is really going to be to work within the tennis community, to find those elite players that we think can become champions, to give them that pathway, to give them the opportunities to become great players."
