The fact that all four members of the Big-4, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are Europeans has been a heavy burden for American tennis, along with the Grand Slams of Dominic Thiem and Daniil Medvedev. Therefore, the streak of male Grand Slam winners without an American continues and only adds up to one winner in the last 84 Grand Slams. It is here that the figure of Juan Martín del Potro appears, who with his victory in the 2009 US Open, breaks the brutal statistic that highlights his feat.
83 out of the last 84 Grand Slam tournaments were won by European tennis players.
