The duo has seen success together, notably winning the Canadian Open in 2025. A coach like Ferrero might help Shelton advance his game further.
Collins and Vandeweghe shared their views on whether an American man could win a Grand Slam in the next five years.
“0%,” Vandeweghe stated.
“I don’t believe our American men have shown enough consistency to compete against many players in a best-of-five format.”
“That three out of five format is a game changer.”
“Alright, I’ll be generous… I’ll give it 1%,” she added.
“I’ll be kind too, I’ll say 15%,” Collins replied.
“I agree with CoCo. For American men to succeed in Grand Slams, they need to improve their performance in best-of-five matches and build their physical endurance.”
Collins and Vandeweghe are not convinced, but how close did American men come to winning a Grand Slam last year?
American Men Reached Two Grand Slam Semifinals in 2025
Shelton made a strong start by qualifying for the Australian Open semifinals last year.
Unfortunately, he lost to the eventual champion, Jannik Sinner, in straight sets.
At Wimbledon, Taylor Fritz made headlines by reaching the semifinals for the first time.
Though he did not make it to the final, he put up a good fight against Carlos Alcaraz in a fiercely contested four-set match.
