US Open 2001

Roddick made his US Open debut last year, losing to Albert Costa in the first round.

This was the third time this year Hewitt and Roddick went head-to-head. In the quarterfinals of the TMS Miami, Hewitt won the match in two sets. The two met again the third round of the French Open, with Hewitt winning the first two sets and taking the match when Roddick retired in the third set with a pulled hamstring.

"He handles my serves better than anybody in the world," said Roddick.
