Andy Roddick remains the last American man to win US Open title

Andy Roddick holds the distinction as the last American man to claim the U.S. Open singles championship, a feat he achieved in 2003 by defeating Juan Carlos Ferrero. The victory marked the final major title for an American man at the tournament, initiating a drought that has now extended for 23 years. While American men have struggled to secure the title during this span, Taylor Fritz reached the final in 2024 before falling to Jannik Sinner. Despite the current drought, the United States leads tournament history with 85 total titles across the amateur and open eras. Other notable American champions in the open era include Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors, who each earned five U.S. Open victories during their careers.
