Andy Roddick reached No. 1 in the world in 2003 shortly after he won the U.S. Open. The American tennis public, looking for its next generation superstar, had in Roddick a young, brash, 21-year-old talent to confidently step up as Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi began their descent from the spotlight. Australian Lleyton Hewitt, at age 20, was the youngest player in the game's history to be ranked No. 1 in the world and won two Grand Slam titles before turning 22.
