The world has changed since an American man won the United States Open title
It has been a long time since an American man won the United States Open title.
It seems difficult to believe this, but this is true: The last American to raise a single men’s cup at the Billy Jean -King National Tennis Center was Andy Roddic, throughout 2003. Since Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic came to the scene, American men did not win the country, although Rhodic, and Drai Agassi. temporary.
This is not the case for American women. Coco Gauff won in 2023, Sloan Stevens won in 2017, and Serena and Venus Williams divided eight championships between 1999 to 2014.
The world has changed slightly since Rhodic beat Juan Carlos Ferrero in three groups. Here is a look at what things were in August 2003.

Mars is approaching
The Mars is far from Earth – but to what extent this differs, especially if Mars is on the other side of the sun. In 2003, Mars and Earth were closer than it was the case since 57617 BC, and the closest planet until 2287.
Near Mars to Earth led to a strange belief that on August 27, 2003, the planet will appear great in the sky like a full moon. For the record, although Mars is twice the moon, it was more than 34 million miles away from that time. The moon is about 238,000 miles, which is 142 times closer. Anyone looking abroad in the hope of seeing Olympus Mons or Valis Marinires would have disappointed you.
