But this middle age, southern, white male was all excited about it being all American. And I truly did not once think about the races of the players until I read about here. I can assure you that at 20 I could not have made that statement.

I am proof that people can change.

Since all the players are Americans, and I do not follow Tennis at all, I really do not care who wins.
