NEW YORK : The upset-rich first round of the U.S. Open did not spare American men looking to end their championship drought on home soil as some of the nation's top prospects floundered in the first round.
But on the eve of Roddick's 40th birthday, those dreams were dashed by qualifier and countryman Brandon Holt. "I feel like an idiot for thinking that I could win this thing, win the U.S. Open," a dejected Fritz said after the first round loss.Touted Americans Mackenzie McDonald, Denis Kudla, Steve Johnson, and Maxime Cressy were also all sent packing after their first-round losses.
Hard-hitters Jenson Brooksby also eased into the second round, dropping just two games before Serbian Dusan Lajovic was forced to retire from the match in the third set.
