Main article: 2003 US Open (tennis)

Andy Roddick defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero in the final, 6–3, 7–6^(7–2), 6–3 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2003 US Open. It was his first and only major title. Roddick remains the most recent American to win the US Open men's singles title as well as any major men's singles title. Roddick saved a match point in the semi-finals against David Nalbandian.

Pete Sampras was the defending champion, but he retired from the sport in August 2003.

This was the first US Open where future four-time champion Rafael Nadal appeared in the main draw, as well as the first major main draw appearance for future world No. 4 and Wimbledon finalist Tomáš Berdych. It was also the final major appearance for former major champions Michael Chang and Yevgeny Kafelnikov.
