Frances Tiafoe is the last American standing at Roland Garros.
An American man hasn't won a Grand Slam singles title since Andy Roddick at the US Open in 2003...
Can he end the 23-year drought?

Personally think Drury and Stead will put some drive back into the club. Been a dormant team lacking passion and application for too long amd I don't think those 2 will settle for that. I'm backing em. #htafc
@_htfcharry_ I dont think most know what they really mean by "experience". Drury does have good coaching experience. You can appoint a typically experienced manager and still fail. Everyone is a roll of the dice ultimately.
@RWatership Not sure you can judge their long term influence on results in 7 games, you have to think about how it could look going forward. Same with anyone appointed.
@DanielJames2203 I refuse to blame them for those late defensive frailties in that time frame. Thats on those players. You not curious to see how theyd do with time? Every appointment since Warnock has backfired.
@Jamie__1739 Drury has more coaching experience than Grant, across a bigger range of levels. Grant never really spoke well after games, rarely anything aboit football. What examples of experienced managers are you thinking?
@Jamie__1739 Im not so sure theyre less appropriate than anyone else we could get in this league. I like that they are local and Drury does have coaching experience and speaks sense more importantly. Im just interested in why people are against it in comparison to others.
