  • The purpose of The Belt is to determine which American male, at any given time in the Open Era, held the mantel of being the best American man in tennis.
    During the early 2010s, American male singles players struggled to keep up with three of the greatest players ever to pick up a racquet. Simultaneously, a pair of American twin brothers were off playing some of the greatest doubles ever seen during the Open Era. The question for fans of American tennis soon became: How do each of them value singles vs. doubles greatness?

    Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi’s rivalry soon transcended the men's game, and rendered all other players’ results, American or not, as obsolete. While both men differed significantly in both playing style and persona, they captured the hearts of American tennis fans in ways perhaps no other American male players ever have.
