Sampras First Not to Defend US Open Title in 33 Years
Reigning champion Pete Sampras today officially withdrew from the 2003 US Open. Sampras was automatically included on the initial entry list last week with a 52-week ranking of No. 26. He has not played a professional tournament since winning his fifth US Open and record 14th Grand Slam singles title last year. Sampras will be the first US Open men?s singles champion not to defend his title since 1970 winner Ken Rosewall.
