Gorgeous but low-ranked Robby Ginepri is the last American tennis player - male or female - who is still in contention to win the French Open. I'm quite sure that he will not win but he has already exceeded expectations by winning his first three matches at the tournament. He had never before won a match on the clay courts of Paris and is the first American man in seven years to make it to the fourth round.

The same cannot be said of Andy Roddick who did not even compete here (injury) or James Blake, Vince Spadea and Mardy Fish who both lost early. As for the U.S. women, former champion Serena Williams was shockingly beaten on Saturday as was her older sister Venus who was runner-up here in 2002., Venus Williams is defending champion at next month's Wimbledon where she has won four times..

Best of luck to Robby!
