2012 Australian Open: Power Ranking Mardy Fish and the 7 Best American Men

American men used to dominate the Australian Open. From 1992 to 2003, an American won the Australian Open eight times. 

Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras and Jim Courier established dominance in this era.

Yet since 2003, an American hasn't won the tournament in Aussie Land.

Mardy Fish, John Isner and Andy Roddick have the best chance to do it this year, but they are nowhere near the level of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. 

There are also some young Americans—such as Donald Young and Ryan Harrison—who are probably a few years from making a run for a Grand Slam title. 

Here are the top seven American men in the 2012 Australian Open.

Please note that James Blake is not on this list because he's not playing in the Open.
