An American man hasn’t won the U.S. Open since 2003 when Andy Roddick captured his sole Grand Slam title of his career. It’s also been 16 years since an American man has reached the tournament’s final, when Roddick fell to Roger Federer.
At Wimbledon in July, eight American men advanced to the third round—the most since the 1996 U.S. Open—making up 25% of the remaining field.
And as the first round of the tournament begins Monday, 20 American men will look to make their mark at the year’s final Grand Slam.
