31 % Agassi – 31 of 100
Roddick’s [7] only win over Agassi [2] in their six meetings (Cincy ’04 it was a reflection with a different outcome). The twelve years younger American needed to save a match point in the deciding tie-break (8/6) with an out-wide service winner. Roddick equalled Rusedski’s record from 1998 in the fastest serve (149 mph). “I tried not to let Andre dictate the play,” Roddick said. “If you get in a rally with him, he’s going to school you. So when I had a good shot I tried to crack it pretty hard.” Roddick’s first event with Brad Gilbert as his coach; they’ll work together until the end of 2004. In the final Roddick trashed Sebastien Grosjean 6-3, 6-3. The American lost their first meeting, won another eight.
