U.S. OPEN 2004

Open XXXVII is the seventh of an annual series highpointing the U.S. Open. The 2004 Open volume includes 160 pages of photos and reports by the game's most distinguished writers and photographers. The original book, produced in 1999, compiled the complete records of the first 30 U.S. Opens, including every men's and women's singles draw sheet.

What a difference a year makes. In 2003 Andy Roddick, the raging rookie, won his first Grand Slam title here and Justine Henin-Hardenne won her second, both victories boosting their world rankings to number one at year end. In 2004, Henin-Hardenne withdrew due to injury dropping her ranking to eight and with a more resilient Roddick, losing the quarterfinals but clinging to the number two slot at season's finish.

Despite the everchanging face of champions, the constant is the Open, always this country's giddiest, gutsiest and grandest tennis happening.
