Andy Roddick, the 2003 US Open champ, is also the last American man to reach a Grand Slam final at 2009 Wimbledon and a US Open semi-final in 2006. All three droughts are the longest for American men in Grand Slam history (since 1877). Achievement Last American Last Time Drought Grand Slam Title Roddick 2003 US Open 59 Grand Slams Grand Slam Final Roddick 2009 Wimbledon 36 Grand Slams US Open SF Roddick 2006 US Open 11 US Opens • Five Americans are in action on Wednesday led by No. 11 seed John Isner, the nation’s No. 1 player for a seventh straight US Open. Much has changed in Isner’s life of late. After getting married last December, Isner and his wife Madison are expecting their first child next month. On the court, Isner won his first ATP Masters 1000 title at Miami and reached his first Grand Slam semi-final at Wimbledon. The 6-foot-11 Isner takes on 6-foot-6 Nicolas Jarry. • It has also been a year of change for American No. 2 Jack Sock. Last fall, Sock won the ATP Masters 1000 Paris title, advanced to the Nitto ATP Finals semi-finals and reached a career-high No. 8 in the year-end ATP Rankings. Sock is 6-15 in 2018 and seeking two straight wins for the first time this season. He bids for his biggest win of the year when he plays World No. 37 Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia under the lights on Louis Armstrong Stadium. • After rallying from two sets down for his first five-set win on Monday, #NextGenATP American Taylor Fritz faces Australian wild card Jason Kubler. Both Fritz and Kubler are former World No. 1 juniors trying to reach the third round of a Grand Slam event for the first time. Kubler broke into the Top 100 on 20 August despite being unranked as recently as April 2017 following a string of knee surgeries. The Brisbane native, who played exclusively on clay from March 2012 through May 2015, is 35-14 on the ATP Challenger Tour this season with two hard-court titles. • Americans Denis Kudla and Steve Johnson will be underdogs in their second-round matches against No. 3 seed Juan Martin del Potro and No. 9 seed Dominic Thiem respectively. Following an 11-month absence and a fourth wrist surgery, Del Potro made his return to the ATP World Tour against Kudla. Ranked 1,042nd at the time, Del Potro did not face a break point in his 6-1, 6-4 win over Kudla in the 2016 Delray Beach first round. Though Thiem is 2-1 against Johnson, the American earned the biggest win of his career over the Austrian at Tokyo last October. • Del Potro, who won the 2009 US Open title, is one of four former champions on the order of play Wednesday. Three-time champion Rafael Nadal continues his title defense against Vasek Pospisil of Canada on Arthur Ashe Stadium, 2016 champion Stan Wawrinka faces 20-year-old French qualifier Ugo Humbert on Grandstand and 2012 champion Andy Murray is 13-1 against No. 31 seed Fernando Verdasco of Spain, whom he meets on Ashe. 2018 US OPEN – Day 3 Media Notes Wednesday, 29 August 2018 Page 2 of 22 MEN’S SINGLES 2R MATCHES (SHOW COURTS) ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM [PR] Andy Murray (GBR) vs [31] Fernando Verdasco (ESP) Murray Leads 13-1 07 Australian Open (Australia) Hard R64 Andy Murray 7-6(4) 7-5 6-4 07 St. Petersburg (Russia) Carpet F Andy Murray 6-2 6-3 08 Dubai (U.A.E.)
